Grice in Scandinavian

--- In general, for the Italian, Scandinavian implicatures are _cold_. They rely too much on the Maxim of Relation, and then, only when triggered by common-ground status devices of the scope-device types.

Scandinavian implicatures are of three types:

Danish Proper

---- Other

------------- More other.

e.g. Norwegian, Swedish.

On the whole, the implicature of meaning-NN is lost in Oslo!
