....a controversial attitude among computational linguists regarding Grice s maxims. Although many researchers find the Gricean approaches necessary for the detection of important discourse phenomena [Kronfeld, 1996] Iwanska, 1996] Horacek, 1996] Green and Lehman, 1996] Dale and Reiter, 1996] [Marcu and Hirst, 1996], Grice s maxims are accused of being hopelessly vague [Frederking, 1996] or too restrictive [Joshi, 1996] Our reformulation of the maxims in the spirit of the quantificational logic of contexts eliminates the object of these criticisms. The key idea behind the relation between context and ....

....knowledge [Lewis, 1969] explaining how implicatures can be used to indicate rejection and how conflicting defaults from epistemic inference rules are resolved in the inference of rejection. Contributions to the formalization of Grice s Manner Maxims have been proposed in Marcu and Hirst s work [Marcu and Hirst, 1996], where pragmatic inferences, having to do with these maxims are treated in terms of their Stratified Logic [Marcu and Hirst, 1995] Other logic formalism, like Perlis s Active Logic [Elgot Drapkin and Perlis, 1990] were proposed to handle implicatures that assume the Quality and Relation ....
