Do you miss your fellow experimental pragmaticists? Then we have a treat for
you! The XPRAG Wine Gatherings will feature renowned scholars in the area of
experimental pragmatics and provide a discussion forum for the community. The
series will take place virtually via Zoom once a month and, each time, we
invite you to drink a specific kind of wine with us. The first talk will be
held by Nausicaa Pouscoulous (UCL) on the topic of 'False Implicatures:
cooperation, commitment and plausible deniability'. We have mulled wine (aka
Glühwein, Glögg, Vin Chaud) on the table to get into the mood for the
holidays.

Abstract: 
Intended implicatures or pragmatic enrichments (e.g., “I’ve eaten some of the
cookies”, meaning not all) can be false (when I’ve eaten all of them), but
they probably do not quite have the same status as lies. Speakers can, of
course, exploit this feature. This talk brings together findings from two
projects – one with Giulio Dulcinati and the other in collaboration with
Francesca Bonalumi, Johannes Mahr and Pauline Marie – investigating how
hearers react to false implicatures. The first one looks at the perception of
false implicatures in cooperative and uncooperative contexts. The second one
explores how committed speakers are perceived to be to what they have
expressed via an implicature or enrichment. It also probes whether a speaker
can plausibly deny having intended them when they turn out to be false.
