HANNES RIESER and WOLFGANG HEYDRICH Faculty Lili, University of Bielefeld and Germanisches Seminar, University of Hamburg The topic (cf. the classical papers and monographs of e.g. D.
Lewis, H.H. Clark and C.R. Marshall, and J. Barwise) is of considerable
and increasing interest. It is in the common focus of several
disciplines: cognitive science, linguistic pragmatics and semantics,
philosophical logic, AI and psychology. It concerns research in
areas like discourse analysis, coordination, presupposition and
accommodation, as well as the formal reconstruction of dialogue
and interaction. There are obvious connections to problems of
group-epistemology and general (philosophical) concepts like intersubjectivity.
The topic constitutes a field of discussion where empirical and
formal methodologies meet (from controlled experiments and discourse
analysis to, say, non-well-founded set theory). Invited speakers:
