چکیده
The theory of cheap talk, evaluated as a model of language use, is shown to mismatch the reality of communication in five respects: real talk is conflict dampening, is more than assertion, is dear, is not literal, and is beholden to its medium. The linguistic theory of pragmatics is employed to demonstrate formally that every utterance creates a coordination game whose resolution reveals evidence of similarity and of a shared mental model, so there is no neutral style of communication: an utterance must affect the relationship between the players. This alteration, in turn, will affect any game allowing for communication.-Can I say " bobobo " and mean " There's no such thing as cheap talk " ? 1-Surely, you cannot. " Bobobo " is just gibberish, a meaningless string of phonemes, and I do not know what it signifies.-Are you certain? Suppose I did say " bobobo " and you heard me to mean " There's no such thing as cheap talk. " What, in turn, would be the meaning and significance of our shared understanding? * Tel.: +1 607 257 5758.

متن کاملInformation Transmission with Cheap and Almost-Cheap Talk∗
Communication in practice typically occurs through multiple channels, not all of which permit costless misrepresentation of private information.

Using a forward-induction refine...
