Cancellability is an essential feature of implicatures. However, its reliability has been
challenged by several cases and examples in which conversational implicatures seem to be …

Cancellability–one of the most important tests for implicatures–has been attacked from
different perspectives, and its reliability challenged by several cases and examples in which …

The standard position in pragmatics to date has been that cancellability is useful way of
differentiating implicatures from logical implications, semantic entailments and the like. In …

Many people follow Grice in thinking that all conversational implicatures are cancellable.
And often enough, they use this insight as a test for conversational implicatures. If you want …

Cancelability is one of the main tests to identify conversational implicatures in general, and
scalar implicatures in particular. Despite this fact, cancelability itself is a phenomenon rarely …

Matthew Weiner has recently argued in this journal that not all conversational implicatures
are explicitly cancellable and he has inferred from this that Grice's familiar 'cancellability test …

Is it possible for the same proposition to be both entailed and conversationally implicated by
what is said? A review of the literature that discusses implicatures reveals that the question …

This paper questions the adequacy of the explicit cancellability test for conversational
implicature as it is commonly understood. The standard way of understanding this test relies …

It seems to be a common and intuitively plausible assumption that conversational
implicatures arise only when one of the so-called conversational maxims is violated at the …

Grice argued that a generalized conversational implicature, in which a certain form of words
usually carries a certain implicature, can be can celled in a certain case; either'explicitly... by …
