There are two major observations to be accounted for: (i) Scalar items in Strawson decreasing environments give rise to scalar inferences only in the presupposition, as observed previously by Gajewski &#038; Sharvit (2011); (ii) Scalar items that generate ignorance inferences give rise to what we call presupposed ignorance inferences in presuppositional contexts. To give a uniform account of these observations, we postulate the &#8220;Presupposed Ignorance Principle&#8221;. However, this alone makes wrong predictions for non-Strawson decreasing environments. In order to circumvent this problem, we postulate a scalar strengthening mechanism responsible for scalar implicatures, which crucially is a presupposition hole (just like &#8216;only&#8217;).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xprag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/WP_20141217_004_small.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xprag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/WP_20141217_004_small-300x168.png\" alt=\"WP_20141217_004_small\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/WP_20141217_004_small-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/WP_20141217_004_small-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/WP_20141217_004_small.png 1776w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 17th, he presented joint work with Benjamin Spector on &#8220;Presupposed ignorance and exhaustification: or how scalar implicatures and presuppositions interact&#8221;.
