By the account, subjects interpret the propositions as if they were obscurely stated attempts to communicate. Since the conventions of language differ from the conventions of logic, interpretations will go beyond the minimal commitment dictated by logic. In particular, subjects assume that the presented information is complete and ordered asymmetrically. By assuming completeness, they interpret particular statements (some, some-not) as contradictions of stronger universal statements (all, no). By assuming asymmetry, they interpret first -mentioned terms as being more general and salient than later-mentioned terms; thus the predicate is encoded only insofar as it pertains to the subject. In consequence, subjects use a subjective logic consisting of three exclusive categories-all, some but not all, and none. They discriminate well between the categories, but make no further discriminations within the categories: The account is tested and con- trasted with other accounts in three experiments that examine the psychological meaning of categorical propositions.
