Meeting Description:

IndiPRAG workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in exploring
individual differences at the level of pragmatics and discourse, as well as
methods for relating those differences to cognitive properties, and approaches
for modelling the mechanism driving the individual differences effects.


Call for Papers:

Workshop on Individual Differences in Pragmatics and Discourse (IndiPRAG) 

Submission deadline: 1st May 2023 
Notification date: 5th June 2023 
Workshop dates: 18th September (all day) and 19th September (morning) 2023 
Workshop venue: Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany (the workshop is
collocated with XPRAG in Paris, 20th-23rd September)

Experimental research in pragmatics and discourse processing has consistently
found that not all comprehenders behave the same: while some seem to draw rich
pragmatic inferences, others respond in a way that is more consistent with a
literal interpretation (Fairchild & Papafragou, 2021; Mayn & Demberg, 2022).
Similarly for discourse inference, experiments have found differences with
respect to the sensitivity to discourse cues and the readiness for discourse
predictions between participants (Scholman, Demberg & Sanders, 2020;
Tskhovrebova, Zufferey & Gygax, 2022).   

This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in exploring
individual differences at the level of pragmatics and discourse, as well as
methods for relating those differences to cognitive properties, and approaches
for modelling the mechanism driving the individual differences effects.  

IndiPRAG Workshop invites submissions of abstracts addressing the following
questions:  

- To what extent do pragmatic processing and discourse inferences differ
between individuals?  
- How consistent are interpretation biases across different types of pragmatic
implicatures?  
- What individual difference measures are particularly suitable for measuring
IDs related to pragmatic processing?  
- How can we computationally model individual differences in discourse and
pragmatics?  
- What statistical methods are best suited to identifying latent groups of
participants and relating ID measures to task performance?

characters for references, 2 figures. Abstracts should be submitted in PDF
format, with 2.54 cm margins on all sides and 12 point font size,
