Course description

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).
