Experimental Pragmatics Conference
April 14-16 2005
University of Cambridge
http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/2004-5/experprag.html
Experimental pragmatics brings together researchers from linguistics, philosophy, psychology and neuropsychology who are interested in the cognitive basis of the domain of speech acts, implicature and speaker meaning. The field of experimental pragmatics is new. Most research in the area has been collaborative between experimentalists and linguists or philosophers. The benefits from such collaborations can and do flow to both
sides.
This is the third in a series of workshops and conferences whose aims are to provide a platform for the dissemination of recent results in the field and also to draw in researchers from either the empirical or the analytical
disciplines in order that new ideas may be exchanged and new alliances may be forged.
Invited Speakers:
Gennaro Chierchia - University of Milan-Bicocca
Stephen Crain - University of Maryland
Bart Geurts - University of Nijmegen
Julien Musolino - Indiana University
Ira Noveck - Institut des Sciences Cognitives, Lyon
Anna Papafragou - University of Delaware
Martin Pickering - University of Edinburgh
Uli Sauerland - Zentrum für allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS), Berlin

for discussion).
We invite researchers interested in the field of experimental pragmatics to
submit an abstract.
Although the themes of the conference are loosely 'processing/architectures' and 'development/acquisition', we will consider papers on other themes.
