In Magri's theory, oddness arises when a scalar implicature, computed without regard to context, clashes with common knowledge. Some Italians come from a warm country is odd because its implicature "not all" contradicts the fact that Italians share one country.… ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
