Connects the RSA Hurford constraint model (RSA.Hurford) to empirical data from Phenomena.ScalarImplicatures.Basic.

Bridge content #

RSA prediction matches empirical data for "some or all".

The model predicts "some or all" is felicitous (disjunction informative under refined lexicon), matching the empirical judgment in Data.lean.

RSA prediction matches empirical data for "American or Californian".

RSA predicts infelicity (disjunction always redundant), matching the empirical judgment.
