成年人经常使用话语的语境来推断超出他们单词字面语义的含义(例如,根据“她吃了一些饼干”来推断她吃了一些,但不是全部)。通过对比儿童(N=2209)对数量词和语境衍生的特殊含义的理解,发现4-5岁儿童能够可靠地计算特殊含义,但不能可靠地计算标准含义(实验1)。出乎意料的是,“有些”和“没有”的表现是相关的(实验1和实验2)。个体差异研究揭示了量词知识和隐含成功之间的相关性(实验3);对照研究排除了其他因素(实验4)。这些发现表明,一些具有等级含义的失误可能根源于缺乏语义知识,而不是一般的语用或加工需求。
Adults routinely use the context of utterances to infer a meaning beyond the literal semantics of their words (e.g., inferring from "She ate some of the cookies" that she ate some, but not all). Contrasting children's (N = 209) comprehension of scalar implicatures using quantifiers with contextually derived ad hoc implicatures revealed that 4- to 5-year-olds reliably computed ad hoc, but not scalar, implicatures (Experiment 1). Unexpectedly, performance with "some" and "none" was correlated (Experiments 1 and 2). An individual differences study revealed a correlation between quantifier knowledge and implicature success (Experiment 3); a control study ruled out other factors (Experiment 4). These findings suggest that some failures with scalar implicatures may be rooted in a lack of semantic knowledge rather than general pragmatic or processing demands.
