"In this paper I argue against a criticism by M. Weiner to Grice's
thesis that cancellability is a necessary condition
for conversational implicature. I argue that the
purported counterexamples fail because the supposed
failed cancellation in the cases Weiner presents
is not meant as a cancellation but as a reinforcement
of the implicature."
Could Weiner have been so myopic?
"I moreover point out that there are special situations
in which the supposed cancellation may really
work as a cancellation."
---- Piece of work, if you axe me!
