초록
The adjective chakhata has developed new meanings over the past two decades and Lim (2014) claims that its various meanings are metaphorically extended from the original meaning. While doing so, he observes that chakhata sometimes indicates 'excellent' and sometimes 'not excellent.' He categorizes these meanings as metaphorically extended denotations, just like all the other meanings he observes. However, Joh and Choi (2017) claim that 'excellent' and 'not excellent' are implicatures rather than denotations, demonstrating that the two meanings are cancellable, unlike denotations which are known to resist cancellation. When the implicature-based account is supported by cancellability, a question arises as to how the two opposing implicatures are resolved when they clash. Data observation reveals that the R-implicature, ‘excellent,’ has a priority over the Q-implicature, ‘not excellent,’ in the case of the scalar adjective chakhata, unlike the claim that is made by Atlas and Levinson (1981). Even though more scalar adjectives have yet to be examined, the paper challenges the claim that Q-implicatures have priority over R-implicatures in case of implicature clash.
Abstract
The adjective chakhata has developed new meanings over the past two decades and Lim (2014) claims that its various meanings are metaphorically extended from the original meaning. While doing so, he observes that chakhata sometimes indicates 'excellent' and sometimes 'not excellent.' He categorizes these meanings as metaphorically extended denotations, just like all the other meanings he observes. However, Joh and Choi (2017) claim that 'excellent' and 'not excellent' are implicatures rather than denotations, demonstrating that the two meanings are cancellable, unlike denotations which are known to resist cancellation. When the implicature-based account is supported by cancellability, a question arises as to how the two opposing implicatures are resolved when they clash. Data observation reveals that the R-implicature, ‘excellent,’ has a priority over the Q-implicature, ‘not excellent,’ in the case of the scalar adjective chakhata, unlike the claim that is made by Atlas and Levinson (1981). Even though more scalar adjectives have yet to be examined, the paper challenges the claim that Q-implicatures have priority over R-implicatures in case of implicature clash.
