What is Structure-Sensitive Scalar Implicatures about?
The paper argues for a structure-sensitive characterization of alternatives in scalar implicatures, proposing that alternatives should be defined as structures of at most the same complexity as the original. It challenges the prevailing notion of monotonicity in favor of a complexity-based approach, providing new empirical data to support this view. The author addresses existing objections and aims to refine the definition of structural complexity to predict conversational inferences more accurately.
