Embedded Implicatures and Experimental Constraints: A Reply to Geurts & Pouscoulous and Chemla

Experimental evidence on embedded implicatures by Chemla (2009b) and Geurts & Pouscoulous (2009a) has fewer theoretical consequences than assumed: On the one hand, the evidence successfully argues against obligatory local implicature computation, which has however already been discredited. On th...
