Meeting Description: 

Cross-linguistic work in semantics has grown substantially in recent years. 
Pragmatics has lagged behind, perhaps because it widely assumed to derive from
universal principles of human rationality despite the early critique of the
universality assumption by E. O. Keenan (1976).  Investigating pragmatics
cross-linguistically also can shed light on current proposals to
conventionalize aspects of pragmatics.  Finally, studying pragmatics
cross-linguistic makes it possible to see how pragmatic principles interact
with the grammatical properties of different languages.
