Experimental Pragmatics: Exploring the Cognitive Basis of Conversation
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
