Pragmatic Reasoning through Semantic Inference
A number of recent proposals have used techniques from game theory and Bayesian cognitive science to formalize Gricean pragmatic reasoning (Frank & Goodman, 2012; Franke, 2009; Goodman & Stuhlmüller, 2013; Jäger, 2012). We discuss two phenomena which pose a challenge to these accounts of pragmatics: M-implicatures (Horn, 1984) and embedded implicatures which violate Hurford’s constraint (Chierc...
متن کاملPragmatic Reasoning. Pragmatic Semantics and Semantic Pragmatics
This paper is concerned with the conceptual foundations of pragmatic reasoning (context-dependent reasoning). A general pragmatic semantics (a semantic analysis which includes a pragmatic parameter) is given for pragmatic reasoning, the logical properties of the various forms of pragmatic reasoning are discussed, as are many examples. The semantic pragmatics (the general study of choosing or in...
متن کاملAnalogical Reasoning and Semantic Rules of Inference
The nature of Aristotle’s topics has been a crucial issue in the Middle Ages (Abaelardi Dialectica, 254) and in the modern and contemporary studies on natural inferences (De Pater 1965; Stump 1982; 1988; Kienpointnter 1986). One of the crucial debates concerned their function, i.e. whether they were instruments for fi nding arguments or rules on which dialectical and rhetorical inferences were ...
متن کاملSemantic Meaning and Pragmatic Inference in Non-cooperative Conversation
This paper applies a model of boundedly rational “level-k thinking” [1–3] to a classical concern of game theory: when is information credible and what shall I do with it if it is not? The model presented here extends and generalizes recent work in game-theoretic pragmatics [4–6]. Pragmatic inference is modeled as a sequence of iterated best responses, defined here in terms of the interlocutors’...
متن کاملValidation through Reasoning in Semantic Wikis
Semantic wikis enhance normal wikis with typed links. Every link on a semantic wiki page has a type describing the relation of the current page to the target of the link. In this paper we propose an architecture that can be used to validate the user input and consistency of typed links in the input with the existing knowledge base. The validation of the consistency is done by utilising a reason...
