Meeting Description: 

In March, the XPRAG Wine series will be visiting Heather Burnett and Céline
Pozniak in France. They will speak about ''Failures of Gricean reasoning and
the role of stereotypes in the production of gender marking in French''. We
cordially invite everyone!

Abstract: 
We partly replicate Malsburg et al. (2020)'s recent experiments investigating
the relationship between speaker expectations, gender stereotypes and language
use in English on a grammatical gender language: French. The results of our
experiment show how the linguistic particularities of the English and French
gender marking systems interact with speaker expectations and stereotypes to
create different patterns of gender marking production. They also raise a
puzzle for current theoretical and computational frameworks that formalize
Gricean pragmatics, particularly those in which informativity (Gricean
Quantity) is assumed to play a driving role in linguistic production.
