| Περίληψη: | This article develops various arguments for the view that scalar implicatures should be de-rived within grammar and not by a theory of language use (pragmatics).

We also briefly review additional observations that come from a variety of empirical domains, all incompatible with pragmatic accounts, yet predicted by the grammatical alternative. |
