20 YEARS of EXPERIMENTAL PRAGMATICS SYMPOSIUM
|
We are happy to announce the “20 years of Experimental Pragmatics Symposium”, which will be held on-line on November 11-12, 2021. The Symposium is organized for celebrating 20 years since the publication of two seminal works (co)authored by Ira Noveck that contributed to shape the research field of experimental pragmatics: “When children are more logical than adults: experimental investigations of scalar implicature” (Noveck 2001, Cognition) and “The Costs and Benefits of Metaphor” (Noveck, Bianco, Castry 2001, Metaphor and Symbol). The event will be organized in two afternoon sessions, one devoted to scalar implicatures and one devoted to metaphor. Moreover, the Symposium will be an occasion for sketching an instant overview of the state of the art and of future research lines of experimental pragmatics at its 20th year. |
