Warlpiri（澳大利亚Pama-Nyungan）只有一个协调员manu。这种辅助语出现在P - manu - q形式的结构中。在下面的文章中，我认为manu有一个非强化的析取外延，可以经历语用强化到连接词。我提出，在Warlpiri中没有合取协调器导致P manu Q的标量替代集{P， Q, (P或Q)}，这与Singh等人（2013）为英语儿童提出的英语P或Q的标量替代集相同。我跟随Singh等人使用Fox（2007）穷竭运算符Exh的递归应用，推导出在非嵌入上下文中分类的P - manu - Q的强化联合阅读。我还讨论了否定范围内、条件句和疑问句中的强化，并对其应用进行了一些语用限制。
Warlpiri (Pama-Nyungan, Australia) has a single coordinator, manu. This coordinator occurs in constructions of the form P manu Q. In the following paper, I argue that manu has a non-strengthened disjunctive denotation which can undergo pragmatic strengthening to conjunction. I propose that the absence of a conjunctive coordinator in Warlpiri results in the set of scalar alternatives {P, Q, (P or Q)} for P manu Q. This is identical to the set of scalar alternatives for English P or Q proposed by Singh, et al. (2013) for English-speaking children. I follow Singh, et al. in using a recursive application of Fox's (2007) exhaustivity operator, Exh, to derive a strengthened conjunctive reading of P manu Q that is categorical in unembedded contexts. I also address strengthening under the scope of negation and in conditionals and Wh-questions, and place some pragmatic constraints on Exh application.
