Aim:<\/strong>
\nThe field of Experimental Pragmatics was founded by the publication of Noveck & Sperber (2004) who confidently wrote: “this volume lays down the bases for a new field, Experimental Pragmatics, that draws on pragmatics, psycholinguistics and also on the psychology of reasoning.” The bold prediction has proven remarkable accurate: Experimental Pragmatics has since successfully established itself as an independent field of research, providing a new perspective on age-old pragmatic problems and inspiring new lines of inquiry. In addition to the fields Noveck & Sperber above mentioned, also semantics, neuroscience and philosophy have contributed to Experimental Pragmatics, but also been influenced by it. A dozen years later, this workshop aims to stake out new directions for Experimental Pragmatics. We seek contributions that strive to integrate existing accomplishments in experimental pragmatics, new methods of experimentation, and developments in related fields to raise or advance new big issues suitable for exploration from the perspective of Experimental Pragmatics.
\nThe workshop will serve as think tank for future directions within XPrag.de. In addition to keynote presentations, there will be a panel discussion on future developments within Experimental Pragmatics.<\/p>\n
