Abstract

Two mouse-tracking experiments tested predictions from two different models of scalar implicature as to whether exhaustive interpretations are computed prior to ignorance implicatures. We use different German in-tonational patterns to probe the availability of these interpretations (Experiments 1 and 2) and add a speaker competence manipulation in Experiment 2. Results from Experiment 1 found that deriving exhaustive interpretations with an L+H* was delayed to ignorance implicatures with an L*+H contour. Experiment 2 replicated this finding even with a strengthened competence assumption about the speaker. We interpret our processing data as providing constraints on the computational mechanisms underlying the interpretation of scalar implicatures.
语调会自动强化标量含义吗?
两个小鼠跟踪实验测试了来自标量含义的两个不同模型的预测,即在无知含义之前是否计算出详尽的解释。我们使用不同的德语音调模式来探索这些解释的可用性(实验1和2),并在实验2中添加说话者能力操纵。实验1的结果发现,用L+H*推导详尽的解释被延迟到对L*+H轮廓的无知暗示。实验2复制了这一发现,即使对说话者的能力假设得到了加强。我们将我们的处理数据解释为对标量含义解释背后的计算机制提供约束。
