Stanford linguists at XPRAG

Several Stanford linguists are presenting research at the New Pragmatic Theories based on Experimental Evidence (XPRAG) Conference taking place at the University of Edinburg from June 19-21. 

• Judith Degen is giving two keynote talks: "The Rational Speech Act framework: an integrative theory of the interaction between literal meaning, world knowledge, and context" at XPRAG and "Harnessing the richness of the linguistic signal in predicting pragmatic inferences" at the pre-XPrag Workshop "Interaction and the Evolution of Linguistic Complexity" (IELC).
• interActive Language Processing Lab at Stanford (ALPS) lab manager Leyla Kursat is giving a talk titled "Linear order: a minimal syntactic tool expressing the modifier and the modified" at IELC.
• Sebastian Schuster and alumna Judith Tonhauser (Ph.D. '06) are both giving joint talks with Judith Degen at XPRAG ("Speaker-specific adaptation to variable use of uncertainty expressions" and "Higher-probability content is more projective than lower-probability content," respectively).

Of note, Daniel Lassiter is highlighted as a short-term collaboration partner in the XPRAG conference website.
