Experimental Pragmatics
This paper considers the implications for philosophy of some recent approaches to pragmatics (with a focus on relevance theory) and makes two main points. First, the widening gap between sentence meaning and speaker’s meaning increasingly brings into question a basic assumption of much philosophy of language: that linguistic semantics provides direct insight into the structure of human thoughts...
متن کاملA New Approach to Contrastive Topic: Partition Semantics and Pragmatics
The purpose of the current work is to propose a more comprehensive approach to Contrastive Topic (henceforth, CT) than the existing ones. In the literature, there have been two approaches to CT proposed: one is to take CT as an information-structural discourse-regulating notion on a par with focus and the other is to analyze CT as an focus-sensitive operator with its inherent semantic and pragm...

The main concern of this article is to discuss some recent findings concerning the psychological reality of optimality-theoretic pragmatics and its central part – bidirectional optimization. A present challenge is to close the gap between experimental pragmatics and neo-Gricean theories of pragmatics. I claim that OT pragmatics helps to overcome this gap, in particular in connection with the di...
متن کاملQuantiative Social-Cognitive Experimental Pragmatics
This thesis argues for a quantitative, social-cognitive, and experimental approach to pragmatics. A formal decision-theoretic framework is proposed to model language production and interpretation in the context of social cognition. The framework is applied to several case studies: (1) use of referential expressions, (2) descriptive use of positive forms of gradable adjectives, and (3) use of qu...

If we consider language in general as an...
