Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Recent research in experimental pragmatics has highlighted the importance of understanding the interaction of grammatical mechanisms with experience-based knowledge. This course will survey some recent experimental studies that touch on this issue in attempting to distinguish between accounts of context-dependent meaning. We will focus on two main areas: scalar implicatures and vagueness/(im)precision. By pulling together studies from different theoretical and methodological approaches, we will try to determine to what extent interactions among grammatical mechanisms, utterance context, and individual experience are systematic.

Students will be evaluated on class participation and a research paper.
