Against monotony? Try Grice

--- Perhaps the best essay on implicature as nonmonotonic is to be found in the minutes of K. Hall, ed. Legacy of Grice. But there are others.

Modeling generalized implicatures using non-monotonic logics
Journal Journal of Logic, Language and Information
Volume 16
Jacques Wainer

"The paper reports on an approach to model generalized implicatures using nonmonotonic logics."

"The approach, called compositional, is based on the
idea of compositional semantics, where the implicature
carried by a sentence is constructed out of the implicature
carried by its constituents."

"It also includes some aspects of nonmonotonic logics in
order to model the defeasibility of
generalized implicatures."
