Reading for Tu 9/22: Levinson 3.2.3 (126-132)

For next Tuesday’s class, read the following:

1.  Section 3.2.3 (pgs. 126-132) of the Levinson chapter on Implicature.  (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.  You should also read his subsequent discussion of so-called “conventional” implicatures, but this topic won’t figure too prominently in our course.
