DiscoMatiX is pleased to announce the first meeting in the Spring
series! Please join us on 9.4.24 at 16:00 CEST on Zoom, when Nicole
Gotzner (Osnabrück University) will give a short talk entitled
“Bringing Grice to the lab: How to do interactive experiments on
pragmatics and communication” (abstract below).  The talk will be
followed by a 20 minute discussion. To join the meeting, please send
an email to discomatix.group at gmail.com and we will send you the Zoom
link. For further information, see https://discomatix.github.io/

Abstract:
Since Grice’s monumental proposal, communication is construed as a
cooperative enterprise involving a speaker and a hearer. Yet most
experimental research in Cognitive Science is monadic and this is at
odds with the fact that communication is a joint activity (Pickering
and Garrod, 2021). Moreover, it presents us with an empirical gap:
almost no fair empirical test of the Gricean model exists. I will
discuss two strands of research that try to close this gap. (1) Work
on implicature with interactive dialog experiments (e.g. Gotzner and
Benz, 2018; Benz and Gotzner, 2021) and (2) ongoing research on
referential communication about concepts with Kristina Kobrock and
Charlotte Uhlemann. At the end of my talk, I will briefly discuss how
multi-agent modeling tools can be used to tackle core questions about
communication.
