DiscoMatiX panel session on the past, present and future of experimental pragmatics

For our special panel session we have invited three of the founding figures of the experimental pragmatics research program: Ira Noveck (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Napoleon Katsos (University of Cambridge), and Petra Schumacher (University of Cologne). Their extensive experience in the field and varying backgrounds promise a lively discussion on some of the core questions in our field. The panelists will share their insights into questions related to the bridging of theory and experimental practice, methodology, as well as the current theoretical landscape and how it affects the future of experimental research on discourse and pragmatics.

As usual, to join our session, please send an email to [email protected] and we will send you the Zoom link.

DiscoMatiX is an interest group for anyone interested in Discourse and pragMatics using eXperimental approaches, with the aim of exchanging ideas to critically assess theoretical frameworks and share best practice for experimental work.
