In this paper, I defend a grammatical account of scalar implicatures. In particular, I submit new evidence in favor of the contextual blindness principle, assumed in recent versions of the grammatical account. I argue that mismatching scalar implicatures can be generated even when the restrictor of the universal quantifier in a universal alternative is contextually known to be empty. The crucial evidence consists of a hitherto unnoticed oddness asymmetry between formally analogous existential sentences with reference failure NPs. I conclude that the generation of mismatching scalar implicatures does not require contextual access.

隐含计算中的上下文盲

在本文中，我捍卫了标量隐含的语法说明。特别是，我提出了新的证据来支持上下文盲目性原则，这在语法说明的最新版本中是假定的。我认为，即使在上下文中已知通用量词中的通用量词的限制子为空，也可能会产生不匹配的标量含义。关键证据包括具有参考失败NP的形式相似的存在句子之间迄今尚未引起注意的奇数不对称。我得出的结论是，不匹配的标量含义的生成不需要上下文访问。
