6 kinds of inferences from a sentence.

6 kinds of inferences from a sentence - 

Sentence : A gave a ball to B. 

Story : Why did he give a ball to B? Because B had lost his ball and was crying.

Story-commonsensical inference about A - That means A is a nice guy.

Story-logical-cum-commonsensical inference about A - A gave the ball after B started crying

Story-logical inference about A - some smart connection between a few data points of the story (not sufficiently long enough here) leading to some inference about A.

Commonsense inference about A - A gave the ball with his hands, with his hands pointing towards B etc.

Logical-cum-commonsensical inference about A - A had a ball in his ownership/control for some time, 

Logical inference about A - Say some quantum mechanical or relativistic inference about the event of A giving a ball to B! 

The first 2 in each set, leading to a total of 4 inferences, constitute the meaning of a sentence in a story. Some specific story can destroy the 2 in the latter.
