Reviews

a virtuosic blend of astute descriptive observations and technically sophisticated formulations, Kent Bach, Journal of Linguistics The Logic of Conventional Implicatures, by Christopher Potts, which I consider one of the highlights of 2005, presents an ingenious new theory for describing the semantic interpretation of sentences that are said to contain 'conventional implicatures' (CIs). The Year's Work in English Studies
