    "title": "Singular Interpretations Linger During the Processing of Plural Noun Phrases",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Plural nouns do not strictly refer to more than one object, whichsuggests that they are not semantically marked to mean “more thanone” and that plurality inferences are made via a scalarimplicature. Consistent with that hypothesis, recent evidence usinga picture-matching paradigm supports founds that participantswere equally fast to respond to a picture of a single object as apicture of multiple objects after reading a sentence containing aplural. This suggests that comprehenders activate both a semantic(i.e., singular) and a pragmatic interpretation (i.e., plural). Thecurrent study found that even after a 1500 ms delay,comprehenders still maintain activation of both meanings afterreading a sentence containing a plural. This suggests that theactivation of the singular meaning may not be due to theprocessing of a scalar implicature, but rather may be due to thenature of plural conceptual representations",
