The HW2 answer key is now available.  Just as before, I’ve put the answer key in the password-protected “Readings” section of our website.  (Remember that the password is listed on the syllabus.)

In the answer key, I’ve tried to address some of the more common errors that we saw in Part II (“Deriving Conversational Implicatures”).  In particular, I’ve given a lengthier discussion of why the implicature in (2) cannot be derived from Relevance.  (My in-class discussion of this was somewhat rushed, since I wanted to leave time to discuss conversational implicatures and perjury.)  I’ve also included some discussion of why the implicature in (4) cannot be derived from Quantity.

Finally, I also included  brief summary of the discussion re: conversational implicatures and perjury in Part III.
