Annotation

Inquiry shows that, notwithstanding contextual expectation force for utterance nonsalient (ironic) interpretation, salience-based interpretations will not be jammed, but eased at first, and their temporal primacy is endorsed, whilst telling against contextualist views (Gibbs 2002; Katz 2009) and Grice's suppression hypothesis (Grice 1975).
