Abstract:
Much of the research on how we express quantity, including numerical
quantity, has focused on how speakers and hearers navigate situations
where they are sharing information freely in order to achieve a common
goal. However, both experience and research suggest that speakers are
often adept at using quantity information to promote their own
argumentative agenda. In this talk I discuss how we might attempt to
model such usages and how hearers might attempt to avoid being misled.
