Linguistic Field(s): Philosophy of Language 

Call Deadline: 16-Jan-2023 

Meeting Description:

Signaling games have been extensively studied by game theorists — be it in the
form of costly signaling, cheap talk, Bayesian persuasion, etc. In exploring
these models, game theorists and economists frequently touch on questions
traditionally treated in linguistics, and they have, from time to time, also
ventured into linguistic interpretations of these models. In linguistics, more
recently, researchers have turned to game theory and modeling frameworks
bearing similarities to methods used in game theory (such as the Rational
Speech Act model) to study questions in semantics and pragmatics. The aim of
this workshop is to enhance the exchange between these two research
communities.


Call for Papers:

Notably encouraged are:

— linguistic assessments or applications of costly signaling, cheap talk,
Bayesian persuasion, or other models that have been studied in game theory;
— game-theoretic treatments of problems that have been formulated in the
context of established research programs in linguistics (such as scalar
implicatures, vagueness, slurs, etc.);
— conceptual reflections on the interaction of game theory and the study of
language;
— concept and category formation;
— game-theoretic assessments of the Rational Speech Act model;
— formal models of dialogues and linguistic interpretations of Bayesian
dialogues.
