At least this was honest: “If you hope to unsubscribe from our emails, you can click here.” When I clicked on ‘here’ it leads to an inactive page.

I played for the French Softball Team in the 90’s. Now that was comedic! Even then, the Italians were among the stronger teams in Europe.

So, questions about whether scalar implicatures are scalar or implicatures have not really surfaced. That might be changing though….

Ira Noveck @irastamon.bsky.social · 29/07/2025
But I think the main reason you get that impression is because investigations into scalar implicature phenomena took on a life of their own (e.g. developmental and processing effects).

It’s read and it’s cited. On the other hand, it has been impossible (for me at least) to get it disentangled from our other joint publications (e.g. to be seen as an independent entry on Google Scholar).

Two articles from our lab on discourse connectives (specifically “and”, “but” & “so”). Both papers form just part of Cecile Larralde’s dissertation that took place last November. The work shows, in detail, how such words, from the moment they appear, generate specific procedures among participants.

We’ve had worries about Prolific. While ratings studies have led to robust findings, reaction time studies have been inconsistent (across nearly identical studies).

Cecile Larralde will be defending her thesis today at 13:30 in Paris. Its title is “Experimental investigations into the procedural meaning of discourse connectives.” She’s the first PhD product of the GRISP lab (within a lab), which started when I moved to Paris (the Université Paris Cité).
