Two types of inference associated with “or”(1) Wilma is dating Albinoni or Boccherini. (“A or B”)1 Exclusivity inferences: ¬Bel S (A and B) (weak exclusivity) Bel S ¬(A and B) (strong exclusivity)2 Ignorance inferences: ¬Bel S (A) and ¬Bel S (¬A) ¬Bel S (B) and ¬Bel S (¬B)Quantity implicatures
Two problems with exclusive “or”1 It is not clear that strong exclusivity is derivable as aQ-implicature.2 The scalar analysis of exclusive “or” doesn’t scale up tosentences with more than two disjuncts.Quantity implicatures
