| Abstract | The present paper is about the conversational implicatures (hereafter referred to simply as ‘implicatures’) that result from the two maxims of quantity identified by Grice 1975 and subsequently discussed by (amongst others) Atlas and Levinson 1981, Horn 1984, and Levinson 1995. The question I seek to resolve is whether Q[uantity] implicatures should be entered in the lexicon or whether they constitute encyclopedic information. Allan 1995, fc argues for a division of labour between the lexicon and the encyclopedia. The lexicon contains formal, morphosyntactic, and semantic specifications of listemes and the encyclopedia contains other kinds of information about listemes, e.g. their etymology, and information about their denotata. |
