Kickoff workshop on "Scales, degrees and implicature: Novel synergies between semantics and pragmatics"
This workshop brings together researchers in formal semantics, experimental pragmatics and computational modelling, who work on vagueness, granularity, scales, attenuation and implicature.
Date: 26 - 28 May 2021
Organizers
Nicole Gotzner, Stavroula Alexandropoulou and Radim Lacina
Key questions
- How are scalar implicatures computed?
- What is the relation between different types of implicature (scalar, Manner, R-based strengthening)?
- What role does vagueness play in implicature?
- What is the role of degrees in the interpretation of gradable adjectives?
- Is imprecision semantic or pragmatic?
