Another argument for embedded scalar implicatures based on oddness in downward entailing environments (2011, methodology): “This assumption fits well with recent theories of scalar alternatives (such as the one developed in Katzir 2007), according to which scalar alternatives are obtained by pruning the target LF.”
An Experimental Comparison Between Presuppositions and Indirect Scalar Implicatures (2015, background): “For a more articulate theory of alternatives see Katzir 2007; Fox and Katzir 2011.”
Maximize Presupposition! and local contexts (2011, background): “I believe that such a characterization can be provided using Katzir’s [25] procedure for generating scalar alternatives.”
Constraining the derivation of alternatives (2015, unknown): “Building on Katzir (2007, 2008), F&K advance a theory of alternatives which starts from the intuition that what distinguishes between the symmetric alternatives above is their structural complexity: S ′′ is more complex than S while S ′ is not.”
Universal Implicatures and Free Choice Effects: Experimental Data (2009, background): “Various people believe that lexical scales are mere stipulations and propose other tools to derive the appropriate alternatives (see in particular Katzir 2007).”
Children interpret disjunction as conjunction: Consequences for theories of implicature and child development (2016, unknown): “For example, Katzir (2007) points out that sentences like every one of these ten students who is wearing a hat was born in Paris implicates that not every one of these ten students was born in Paris.”
On the characterization of alternatives (2011, methodology): “We will resolve this dilemma in section 3 by adopting the structural approach to alternatives argued for in Katzir (2007), where alternatives are determined by a general definition in terms of structural complexity.”
