Abstract
This paper presents and addresses a problem in pragmatics concerning the inference of implicatures within a Gricean framework. I propose a model in which implicatures are reasonable even in the absence of the sort of strong cooperativity supposed by Griceans.
Thanks to LACL 2012 reviewers for helpful comments.
