On the Treatment of Quantity Implicature by Neo-Gricean and Relevance Theory
As regarding to the derivation of quantity implicature,Grice's proposition is problematic.In the literature,Grice' s derivation of quantity implicature has been questioned and alternative accounts have emerged.In this paper,I examine two accounts for the derivation of quantity implicature and try to compare and contrast these two accounts.First,the symmetry problem in Grice's derivation of quantity implicature is elaborated.Second,the Neo-Gricean and Relevance Theory accounts for the derivation of quantity implicature are explained.Finally,I compare and contrast the two different accounts for the derivation of quantity implicature.
