Scalar implicatures in second language acquisition (2010, unknown): “…proposed in the literature, which envisage different sequences of processes and implicate different architecture of the linguistic modules: the (neo-Gricean) Integrative account (Levinson, 2000; Chierchia, 2004, 2006) and the Relevance Theory account (Sperber and Wilson, 1986/1995; Carston, 1998).”
Pragmatic reasoning through semantic inference (2016, background): “These embedded implicatures differ in a crucial way from many others discussed in the literature: in these other cases, the implicature-generating utterance is semantically distinct from its relevant alternatives (Chierchia, 2006; Fox, 2007).”
The semantics and pragmatics of plurals (2010, methodology): “The type of enrichment we use here is different from the ’pragmatic enrichment’ proposed most recently in Chierchia 2004, 2006; Chierchia, Fox & Spector 2008, which relies on a covert exhaustification operator.”
Number-neutral bare plurals and the multiplicity implicature (2009, unknown): “This framework will be inspired almost entirely by Chierchia (2004, 2006), though somewhat simplified.”
Conjunctive interpretation of disjunction (2010, background): “), Chierchia ( 2006 ), Fox ( 2007 )) have argued that it is wrong to start with what is explicitly expressed by an utterance.”
On the characterization of alternatives (2011, background): “…pruning applies, pruning the one 2The fact that focus semantics is central to SI will lend support to theories of SI that are based on focus sensitivity (Krifka, 1995, Fox, 2007a, Chierchia, 2006, and Chierchia, Fox, and Spector, 2008). will be impossible without pruning the other as well.”
Scalar Implicatures in Child Language: Give Children a Chance (2012, background): “…with the class of items that are members of a scale, so that the relevant alternatives are or might be activated whenever such entries are used, also as a function of the properties of the context in which the scalar term appears (cf. Chierchia, 2006, for a formal implementation of this idea).”
Free Choice and the Theory of Scalar Implicatures (2007, background): “17 The latter possibility seems less plausible given the accumulation of evidence for " intrusive " or " embedded " implicatures (at least in non-downward entailing environments), see Chierchia 2004.”
