Meeting Description:

Workshop Organizers:

Noah D. Goodman 
Michael Franke 

Workshop Purpose:

Formal pragmatics has recently experienced a new period of maturation, facilitated by 
two important factors: a) the novel application of mathematical modeling techniques, 
and b) access to rich experimental data. The recently emerging field of Experimental 
Pragmatics has painted a complex picture of the interaction between semantic and 
pragmatic information in phenomena as diverse as implicature, referentiality, 
figurative meaning, prosody, and presupposition. In parallel, advances in probabilistic 
and game-theoretic models that treat pragmatic inference as a problem of reasoning 
under uncertainty have yielded testable quantitative predictions about the outcome of 
many different kinds of pragmatic inference. Despite this progress, a great deal of 
work is needed on the mathematical foundations and quantitative empirical grounding 
of pragmatics, and, most critically, the connection between the two.  The aim of this 
workshop is to promote dialog and community for these lines of research: 
strengthening the search for an empirically grounded formal pragmatics.  

Invited Speakers (TBC):

Judith Degen (Stanford)
Bart Geurts (Nijmegen)
Roger Levy (UCSD)

Final Call for Papers:

New extended deadline: March 22, 2014.

Authors are invited to submit an extended 2-page abstract of original work 
relevant to the workshop's topics.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
