Every ambiguity isn’t syntactic in nature: Testing the Rational Speech Act model of scope ambiguity

Abstract:
Utterances like ‘Every guest didn’t leave’ are ambiguous between a reading according to which no guest left and a reading according to which not all of the guests left. This ambiguity is often explained by assuming that ‘every-not’ utterances have two different syntactic parses. However, experimental studies have shown that pragmatic factors, such as prior probabilities and the question under discussion, also play an important role in the interpretation of ambiguous ‘every-not’ utterances. Recently, Scontras and Pearl (2020) put forward a probabilistic model of ambiguity resolution that makes it possible to quantify the relative contribution of syntactic and pragmatic factors. Here, we present three experiments aimed at testing this model and measuring the division of labor between syntax and pragmatics. Our results suggest that variability in the interpretation of ‘every-not’ utterances can be explained almost entirely in terms of pragmatics, suggesting only a marginal role for syntax.

Zorg voor een leerbare spelling - De verregaande regeldrift en het gebrek aan onderlinge principes maken dat de Nederlandse spelling een opzoekspelletje is geworden. In de volgende editie van het Groene Boekje zou een koerswijziging niet misstaan: ruimte voor variatie waar beregeling onwenselijk is en bovenal een terugkeer naar de spellingsprincipes.
