Maximize Presupposition! and local contexts (2011, background): “…of whether scalar implicatures are generated at the root, or also in embedded positions (e.g., Grice (1967), Cohen (1971), Chierchia (2004), Sauerland (2004), van Rooij and Schulz (2004), Fox (2007), Russell (2006), Chierchia et al.

Exhaustive Interpretation of Complex Sentences (2004, neutral): “For all s 1 = h M 1 , w 1 i , s 2 = h M 2 , w 2 i ∈ S : s 2 and s 2 s 1 24 Gazdar’s (1979) idea, recently modiﬁed by Sauerland (2004), to generate strong 2 ¬ s 0 implicatures (his scalar ones) only in as far as they are compatible with (the set of) weak implicatures of the form ¬ s 00 (his clausal…”
Children interpret disjunction as conjunction: Consequences for theories of implicature and child development (2016, neutral): “14It is well-known that, for the adult, disjunctions A∨B typically lead to the inference that the speaker is ignorant about the truth-value of each disjunct (e.g., Gazdar 1979, Sauerland 2004, Fox 2007, Chemla 2009a).”
Another argument for embedded scalar implicatures based on oddness in downward entailing environments (2011, background): “In fact, Sauerland (2004b) notes the contrast in (iii).”
Broaden Your Views: Implicatures of Domain Widening and the Logicality of Language (2006, background): “O [some[ ] (one) xi O [smoke(xi) ∨[ ] drink(xi)]] Now, if we consider the scales of both some and or as part of the same set of alternatives to (27a), we get the following picture: 15 ‘‘Globalistic’’ alternatives to this view can be found in Sauerland 2004 and Spector 2003.”
Free Choice and the Theory of Scalar Implicatures (2007, methodology): “However, understanding how this is to work requires the introduction of a proposal made in Sauerland (2004), which would be extracted from its neo-Gricean setting in order to meet our goals.”

Presupposition and Implicature in Compositional Semantics (2007, background): “Plural noun phrases in many cases require plural reference, but there are exceptions as recently summarized by Sauerland et al. (2005). Spector asks whether the plurality requirement of plural noun phrases is part of the truth conditions, presuppositions or an implicature, arguing in favor of the la”
Scalar Implicatures in Child Language: Give Children a Chance (2012, background): “; Grammatical approaches such as Chierchia (2004 , 2006 ; Chierchia, Fox, & Spector, in press ), Sauerland (2004 ), and Fox (2007 ) i.”
Structurally-defined alternatives (2007, methodology): “The problem, discussed by Sauerland (2004), is this: for any disjunction p _ q we would like to have both p and q as alternatives.”
An Experimental Comparison Between Presuppositions and Indirect Scalar Implicatures (2015, background): “8 See Horn 1972; Rooth 1992; Sauerland 2004 among many others.”
Universal Implicatures and Free Choice Effects: Experimental Data (2009, background): “See for instance Spector (2003), van Rooij & Schulz (2004) and Sauerland (2004).”
Constraining the derivation of alternatives (2015, neutral): “The operator exh can be seen as a notational device expressing pragmatic reasoning on a sentence (cf. Sauerland 2004; Spector 2006), or alternatively as a grammatical device which is syntactically represented and interpreted by compositional semantics.”
