Abstract: We study the logical properties that characterize
pragmatic inferences and we show
that classical understanding of notions such
as entailment and defeasibility is not enough
if one wants to explain infelicities that occur
when a pragmatic inference is cancelled.
We show that infelicities can be detected
if a special kind of inference is considered,
namely infelicitously defeasible inference.
We also show how one can use stratified
logic, a linguistically motivated formalism
that... (Update)
