Approaches to implicature: Rational choice and/or exhaustification

Meeting URL: https://sites.google.com/view/approachestoimplicature/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics; Psycholinguistics; Semantics 

Meeting Description: 

Recent work in implicature has seen a great deal of activity within two lines
of research: the rational choice approach associated with game-theoretic
pragmatics and the Bayesian Rational Speech Act framework, and the
exhaustification-based approach. While these frameworks have generally been
thought to be in theoretical tension, there are also underexplored ways to
combine them, with the potential to benefit both approaches. The workshop will
explore explicit comparisons between the two frameworks as well as efforts to
combine them, with the hope of producing a more unified theory of implicature
and a more general understanding of the data that such a theory must account
for.
 

This workshop is part of ESSLLI 2021, which is entirely online
