Meeting Description:

The next XPRAG Wine talk will present a fresh perspective on a classic
topic in pragmatics. On 26th January, our dear Napoleon Katsos
(Cambridge) will talk about quantity implicatures in a novel
perspective-taking task that compares neurotypical and autistic
children. The talk title is "Quantity implicature and
perspective-taking: insights from a novel task ". Join us with a glass
of wine, Ouzo or coffee (depending on your time zone).

Date: 26nd January, 8.15 p.m. (CET)
Speakers: Napoleon Katsos (Cambridge)
Talk: Quantity implicature and perspective-taking: insights from a
novel task
Hosts: Nicole Gotzner (University of Osnabrück) and Ira Noveck
(Université de Paris, CNRS)
Drink menu: Wine, Ouzo or coffee

Abstract:
There are several influential views on whether some form of theory of
mind is required to derive pragmatic inferences. In this presentation
I will share with you a new task that colleagues and I have designed
where success depends on sensitivity to the pragmatic maxim of
informativeness, to perspective-taking, or to both. Using this task
with neurotypical children and neurotypical and autistic adults, we
find that (i) some listeners reliably derive pragmatic inferences
without taking into account the perspective of the speaker, and that
(ii) their propensity to take into account the perspective of the
speaker is affected by what they, the listeners, see from their
perspective. I will use these findings to suggest that listeners may
but need not represent the epistemic state of the actual speaker in
order to derive implicatures, and the implementation of theory of mind
is subject to metacognitive monitoring. I don't think that these
findings speak in favour of any particular theory of implicature but I
think that they do contribute towards a psycholinguistic model of
implicature derivation.
