Abstract:
Psycholinguists have expended considerable effort investigating how people
adapt comprehension and production processes to the informational needs of
their particular interlocutors, with lively debates emerging over the extent
to which observed adaptations reflect the use of ''common ground'' or simpler
heuristics. But it seems increasingly likely that such partner-specificity
(whether a strong or weak version) explains only a tiny share of the variance
in pragmatic phenomena which, by and large, seem to be driven by
partner-independent representations and processes. Explaining pragmatic
phenomena through the lens of partner independence thus becomes an important
but utterly neglected agenda. In this talk I will present psycholinguistic
evidence that justifies this agenda, along with some preliminary ideas about
the way forward.
