Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • In linguistics exhaustivity refers to an implicature in which a proposition is strengthened by denying its stronger alternatives. It is a major topic in the linguistic subfields of semantics and pragmatics. The foundational basis of exhaustivity is Gricean informal pragmatics, specifically scalar implicatures in which a existential quantifier like some is strengthened by denying its stronger alternative (e.g. all). Much of the work in the area of exhaustivity can be characterized as giving a formal semantic account of contexts where elements in language are interpreted exhaustively, including focus, disjunction, questions, free choice phenomena, and polarity items.
