An on-line investigation into the role of context in generating pragmatic inferences
A New Look at the Semantics and Pragmatics of Numerically Quantified Noun Phrases (2008)
This paper presents some arguments against a unilateral account of numerically quantified noun phrases and for a bilateral account of such expressions. It is proposed that where numerically...
4 ON THE DYNAMIC TURN IN THE STUDY OF MEANING AND INTERPRETATION (2008)
In reflecting on the dynamic turn in semantics, it is first necessary to delineate the topic. Some ways of doing this are not so useful. We cannot, for instance talk about a single theory or coherent...

We investigate the interaction of structural and contextual constraints on the on-line generation of three types of Scalar Implicature, (a) the disjunction: “A or B ”>> “either A or B but...

A New Look at the Semantics and Pragmatics of Numerically Quantified Noun Phrases (2008)
This paper presents some arguments against a unilateral account of numerically quantified noun phrases (NQNPs) and for a bilateral account of such expressions. It is proposed that where NQNP give...
I am very much indebted to Deirdre Wilson for constant feedback and guidance in developing (2007)
This paper applies a development of Sperber & Wilson's 1986 analysis of focus to interpretational as well as interface issues. It also introduces the idea that procedural meaning can be...
