Learning to Reason Pragmatically with Cognitive Limitations (2014, background): “…or production of pragmatically complex utterances: slowly via complex recursive inferences made as each sentence is processed, (Geurts, 2009; Huang & Snedeker, 2009) or quickly via inferences that are precompiled and cached based on previous interactions (Levinson , 2000; Grodner et al.,…”
An Experimental Comparison Between Presuppositions and Indirect Scalar Implicatures (2015, background): “Among the three inferences that we are looking at in this paper, direct scalar implicatures are the ones that have been studied most extensively in the psycholinguistic literature (Bott and Noveck, 2004; Bott et al., 2012; Breheny et al., 2006; Huang and Snedeker, 2009; Chemla and Bott, 2013).”
Investigating scalar implicatures in a truth-value judgement task: evidence from event-related brain potentials (2016, background): “First, in support of the existing literature (Bott & Noveck, 2004; Huang & Snedeker, 2009; Tomlinson et al., 2013), our reaction time results provide evidence that the implicature is associated with an increased processing cost.”
Distinguishing speed from accuracy in scalar implicatures (2012, methodology): “…(2004), and Sperber and Wilson (1986/1995), amongst others, but the psycholinguistic processing of these implicatures has been investigated only recently and in comparatively few studies (Bott & Noveck, 2004; Breheny, Katsos, & Williams, 2006; Huang & Snedeker, 2009; Noveck & Posada, 2003).”
Pragmatic Language Interpretation as Probabilistic Inference. (2016, neutral): “An important test of the difficulty of this theoretical project is that the burgeoning experimental psycholinguistic literature attempting to measure pragmatic inference has found these principles only modestly useful [11, 39, 60].”
