Children's interpretation of referential ambiguities and pragmatic inference.
The verbal responses of 22 second graders, 24 fourth graders and 22 sixth graders to ambiguous and clear messages were recorded. Children's referential choices were analysed. After the ambiguous messages, children (from the age of seven years) chose preferentially a referent with only the feature described in the message rather than a referent with this feature plus another one. The results sup...
متن کاملA Self-Referential Perceptual Inference Framework for Video Interpretation
This paper presents an extensible architectural model for general content-based analysis and indexing of video data which can be customised for a given problem domain. Video interpretation is approached as a joint inference problems which can be solved through the use of modern machine learning and probabilistic inference techniques. An important aspect of the work concerns the use of a novel a...
متن کاملCost-Based Pragmatic Inference about Referential Expressions
We present data from three experiments addressing how much theory of mind reasoning is involved in production and interpretation of ambiguous referential expressions in an artificial language task, and how this interacts with the cost and availability of alternative utterances. When an unambiguous alternative is not available, listeners tend to draw simple Quantity inferences reminiscent of sca...
متن کاملThe Terms and Relations of Comparison, Referential, and Relative Processes
The Terms and Relations of Comparison, Referential, and Relative Processes This paper develops the mathematical foundations of comparison, referential, and relative (CRR) processes. The key ingredients are: (1) three kinds of terms; and (2) two kinds of relations. Combining the three terms – absolute amount, relative amount, and relative rank – with the two kinds of relations – functions of one...
