Relevance Only

In this paper, a single notion of exhaustivity will be defined in terms of relevance that accounts for (i) standard exhaustification; (ii) scalar readings; and the intuition that mentionsome answers can sometimes be completely resolving. It will be shown that this notion of exhaustivity leaves something to be done for ‘only’. Moreover, an analysis will be given of ‘only’ in terms of relevance that is stronger than exhaustivity in a subtle way. Finally, it will be suggested how exhaustivity and ‘only’ could interact with disjunctions.
