摘要

句子通常被认为会触发标量和无知的含义，因为说话者可能会说其他的话语。因此，对这些推论进行建模的核心问题是:在给定的上下文中，对于给定的句子，什么可以算作替代的话语?在本文中，我将介绍与嵌入式分离的推理和偏差模式相关的两组新颖的经验观察，基于这些观察，我将认为(I)概率信息性在选择一组备选方案中起作用;并且(ii)先验世界知识在评估备选方案的概率信息性中的作用是有限的。早期访问

Probabilities and logic in implicature computation: Two puzzles with embedded disjunction

Sentences are standardly assumed to trigger scalar and ignorance implicatures because there are alternative utterances the speaker could have said. The central question in modeling these inferences is thus: what counts as an alternative utterance for a given sentence in a given context? In this paper, I will present two families of novel empirical observations related to inference and deviance patterns of embedded disjunction, based on which I will argue that (i) probabilistic informativeness plays a role in selecting the set of alternatives; and (ii) the role of prior world knowledge in evaluating probabilistic informativeness of alternatives is limited.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
