Semantics

view that scalar inferences come from a silent exhaustivity operator in the grammar rather than from after-the-fact Gricean reasoning about the speaker.

In semantics, grammatical theory of scalar implicature refers to view that scalar inferences come from a silent exhaustivity operator in the grammar rather than from after-the-fact Gricean reasoning about the speaker.
