Quantity implicature interpretations in bilingual population: the case of Imbabura Kichwa.

Most studies on the pragmatic interpretation of existential quantifiers have been conducted in major Indo-European languages like English, Spanish, French, and Greek, focusing mainly on monolingual participants. However, in indigenous linguistic research, especially experimental research, it is crucial to consider several linguistic and extra-linguistic factors for successful implementation. Our research centered on the experimental investigation of the pragmatic interpretation of the quantifier , meaning in Kichwa, with Kichwa-Spanish bilingual adults from the province of Imbabura Ecuador.
