本文概述了目前关于等级含义的四种理论：语用理论、词汇理论、语用理论+词汇理论和语法理论。经验上的焦点是全球性和地区性的，但也有中间含义。我认为，语法理论在概念上的动机甚至不如语用词汇理论好，因此语法理论需要强有力的经验支持。然后，我重点研究了一种新的经验现象--中间含义--它为语法理论提供了经验支持。我的结论是，采用语法理论似乎是必要的。
I provide an overview of four current theories of scalar implicature: the pragmatic (or Gricean), the lexical, a combined pragmatic + lexical, and the grammatical theory. The empirical focus are global and local, but also intermediate implicatures. I argue that the grammatical theory is conceptually less well motivated than even the pragmatic + lexical theory, and that the grammatical theory therefore requires strong empirical support. I then focus on a novel empirical phenomenon – intermediate implicatures – which provides empirical support for the grammatical theory. I conclude that it seems necessary to adopt the grammatical theory.
