Annotation

K. considers the reformulations of the Gricean maxims as proposed by Kempson (1975: 'Presupposition and the delimitation of semantics') and Gazdar (1977: 'Implicature, presupposition and logical form') in more detail in order to see to what extent these reformulations succeed in giving the maxims 'a greater degree of content'.
