Conjunctive interpretation of disjunction (2010, background): “Fortunately, there are two well-known theories on the market that look at pragmatic interpretation from such a point of view: Bi-directional Optimality Theory (e.g., Blutner 2000 ), and Game Theory (e.g., Benz, Jäger & van Rooij 2005 ).”
Overspecification facilitates object identification (2011, background): “In Optimality theory, a bi-directional interpretation of the Gricean maxims is proposed as well (Blutner, 2000).”
Two kinds of modified numerals (2010, methodology): “There are many variations and implementations of this idea (McCawley 1978; Atlas & Levinson 1981; Blutner 2000; van Rooij 2004),11 but”
Another argument for embedded scalar implicatures based on oddness in downward entailing environments (2011, background): “18 Her original account is framed within a very different theory of scalar implicatures, developed in Blutner 1998, 2000.”
Semantics and the electrophysiology of meaning: Tense, aspect, event structure (2004, methodology): “Other notions of minimality are available, for example in the framework of Optimality Theory and Harmonic Grammar [7, 188].”
Differential case-marking in Hindi (2005, background): “When this is the case, the pattern can be analysed in terms of bidi rectional Optimality Theory (Blutner, 2000).”
When Production Precedes Comprehension: An Optimization Approach to the Acquisition of Pronouns (2006, methodology): “…been argued to involve alternative forms and hence might be better treated by taking a bidirectional perspective are conversational implicatures (Blutner (2000), van Rooy (2004)), word order freezing (Beaver and Lee (2004), Lee (2001a; 2001b), Vogel (2004)), the interpretation of indefinite…”
