Implicature and Presupposition within Compositional Semantics (wissenschaftliches Netzwerk)

所有的人都可以毫不费力地快速地解释母语的句子。从生成语法的角度出发，我们研究了三种被广泛认为是这种能力基础的心理机制：组合语义、含义计算和预设计算。对于这三种机制，最近提出的正式模型在许多情况下都是准确的，并且在该领域有一些共识，即进一步的进展需要这些结果之间更强的相互联系。我们力求汇集这些子领域的专家，以推进这一议程。从这个角度来看，我们期望对重要的经验现象获得新的见解；如协议许可、选择现象、穷竭效应等。

All humans can interpret sentences of their native language quickly and without effort. Workind from the perspekcive of generative grammar, we investigate three mental mechanisms that are widely assumed to underlie this ability: Compositional semantics, implicature computation and presupposition computation. For all three mechanisms, formal models have been advanced recently that are accurate for many cases, and there is some consensus in the field that further progress requires stronger interconnections between these results. We seek to bring togehter experts from these subfields to bring this agenda forward. From this perspective, we expect to gain new insigths into important empirical phenomena; for example, agreement licensing, from choice phenomena, and exhaustivity effects.
