Description
The paradigm example of a quantity implicature is the inference from “some” to “not all”, as in:
Some bankers are crooks > Not all bankers are crooks.
In recent years, quantity implicatures have received a lot of attention not only from philosophers and linguists, but from experimentalists, too, and the number of theoretical analyses has increased in proportion. In this talk, I will give an overview of the main strands that have emerged from all this research, with special emphasis on the issue of “embedded implicatures”. I will argue that the extant data still favour the classical analysis inspired by the work of Grice, but I will also show that the Gricean framework will have to be extended so as to account for phenomena below the sentence level.

I love the last slide!
A tendentious survey is a survey that is designed to produce a particular outcome or support a specific opinion. It is often used to manipulate public opinion or to support a political agenda. Tendentious surveys are not reliable sources of information and should be viewed with skepticism. The last time I saw the best survey was CVS at https://www.cvshealthsurvey.page/ and interestingly, collecting data and opinions makes a better way to solve the problems.
