Exceptives under negation: strengthening the case for PEX

Résumé

The sentence I solved everything but Problem 4 conveys (a) that I solved everything else (the 'universal' inference), and (b) that I didn't solve Problem 4 (the 'exclusion' inference). Recent analyses derive the exclusion inference as a grammatical implicature, via an exhaustivity operator in the LF (e.g. Gajewski 2008, 2013; Hirsch 2016; Crnič 2018). In this paper, we consider predictions when the clause containing the exceptive is negated. Our findings indicate that the universal inference is asserted, but the exclusion inference patterns as a presupposition. The data can be predicted if the exhaustivity operator which co-occurs with exceptives is presuppositional, following Bassi, Del Pinal & Sauerland 2021 and Del Pinal, Bassi & Sauerland 2024 (see also Baron 2022, Crnic to appear).
