For next Tuesday’s class, read the following:
1. Â Section 3.2.3 (pgs. 126-132) of the Levinson chapter on Implicature. Â (You’ve already read sections 3.0 and 3.1 for an earlier class; section 3.2.3 is part of the same PDF document.)
For the Levinson reading, focus on the discussion of generalized vs. particularized implicatures. Â You should also read his subsequent discussion of so-called “conventional” implicatures, but this topic won’t figure too prominently in our course.
