DESCRIPTION:Social Structural Pragmatics  (Joint work with Jessica Keiser (UNC Chapel H
 ill))\nAbstract: Much work in pragmatic theory makes use of social structur
 al explanation. Yet, there is a disconnect between these pragmatic theories
  and the formal frameworks that are commonly used by philosophers of langua
 ge to build models that represent pragmatic phenomena. These frameworks typ
 ically, represent just at the level of individual psychological facts (such
  as propositional attitudes, preference orderings, attentional states, inte
 ntions, etc.). Our aim is to motivate a multilevel framework for formal pra
 gmatics. We argue that in order to reveal macro-level linguistic patterns a
 mong similarly situated linguistic agents–as well as micro level facts abou
 t how an individual’s linguistic behavior may depend upon and update their 
 social position–pragmatic frameworks cannot rely solely on psychological fa
 cts; they must be supplemented by social structures. A social structural pr
 agmatic framework bridges an existing gap across branches of pragmatic theo
 ry and provides resources to integrate formal pragmatics with social ontolo
 gy and social epistemology.\n This event was imported from: https://philoso
