Her work is cool and So Mean adjacent! Here?s the [?docx icon] signup sheet and here?s her talk info if you missed it: Speaker: Dr. Laurel Brehm (UCSB Linguistics) Time: 3:55 PM Location: Oxley Hall 103 Title: Variations on Name Agreement Abstract: People don't always agree on what objects should be called: do you drink your coffee out of a mug or a coffee cup? This common source of lexical variation has been termed name agreement in the psycholinguistic literature and it has interesting implications for language production and language comprehension. In this talk, I consider three places-- three variations-- on name agreement to shed light on how people's different labels for things might or might not affect communication.

This is a very new line of research that I am eager to get SoMean's take on. A few relevant papers are attached: * Burnett (2019): An attempt to model social indexical meaning by extending the Rational Speech Act (RSA) framework (a probabilistic, game-theoretic framework that has been used to model various pragmatic phenomena). * Qing & Cohn-Gordon (2019) and Cohn-Gordon & Qing (2019): Two related papers that extend and improve on Burnett's models. * Yoon et al. (2020): An RSA treatment of politeness. * Levon et al. (2022): Not about game theory, but relevant because it argues for treating sociolinguistic perception as inference under uncertainty, which is a feature of RSA models. Read whatever you find most interesting, and feel free to suggest other papers if you know of anything interesting on this topic that I haven't included here. I'll give an overview and some context to get the discussion started on Friday. Best, William -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
