“…The pattern of responses in this Study reveals that upper level statements function as a kind of implicit negations, and behave in accordance with predictions from supposition denial theory (Moxey et al, 2001;Sanford et al, 2007). This function makes them more specific and hence less frequent than lower limit statements.…”

“…The idea that lexical negations presuppose the assertion that is being denied, is well established in psycholinguistic accounts of negations (Clark & Clark, 1977;Horn, 1989). Moxey et al (2001) showed that the focus effect of negative quantifiers like few and not all can be understood along similar lines. In a more recent publication, Sanford, Dawydiak, and Moxey (2007) reviewed a large number of phrases with negative quantifiers, including at most 10%, at most 90%, less than 10%, and less than 90%.…”

These studies have consequences for the theory of the meanings of quantified expressions and their mental representation.…”
