Not OP

(Anonymous) 2011-06-17 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Actually the first one relies on the context of the question. Without it there's no reason to believe that someone was given the card. Seeing as the OP gave no context beyond the statement, there was no reason to assume that it was in response to any specific question because it could just as easily be an answer to 'What did you do yesterday?' as anything else.

The phrase on it's own really just means 'I got a musical card for myself', with the implication that the person bought it [and possibly, though not overly likely] gave it to themself.

Oh, I absolutely agree with you; that was what I meant by 'And that's the meaning of the phrase on its own; anything else relies on implicature from context.'

I've just tried looking up the Modern Family quote the original secret referred to, and it looks like it's 'Are you headed over to the card shop? I got myself one of those musical cards. A little more expensive, but I can swing it.' Admittedly, I don't know about the wider context, but to me that just means 'I bought one of those musical cards'.

Oh, I guess I got a little mixed up with your first example, sorry ^^;;

That's pretty much what it means to me with that context. Though, honestly, I think it probably wasn't the best example for the OP to use. -shrugs-
