Oemanaus, hemidoulia -- in Berlin, misquoted. His real name was "OenOmaus"

by JLS
for the GC

Oenomaus, OEnomaus (strictly) coined 'hemidoulia', half-slavery. I coined hemi-eletheuria, half-freedom. hemidoulos, half-slave. hemieleutheros, half-free.

Implicature:

The glass is half-full.

Miss Smith is half-Scot. She is Scot.

She is Scot. She is 100% Scot.

Harnish on "Logical form and implicature", etc.

I'm not saying that Miss Smith is 100% Scot. Only that she is Scot.
