- Abstract
- It has been disputed whether scalar implicatures (= SIs) arise globally or locally. Basically SIs should be global because they arise by comparing strengths of whole alternative statements. On the other hand, there are a lot of examples in which local SIs are preferable. Linguists like Chierchia (2002) and Fox (2006) even claim that SIs arise by applying an operator to syntactic constituents to get their stronger meanings. In this paper, I claim that SIs are global and seemingly local implicatures are effects of contexts on global implicatures. Moreover, I will show that no syntactic analyses work. © 2013 National Chengchi University. All Rights Reserved.
