Th-XPRAG aims at bringing together scholars working in the fields of theoretical and experimental pragmatics, to promote the harmonization of theoretical and empirical investigation about pragmatic facts. Given its link with the IGG conference, the Th-XPRAG workshop also aims at promoting the dialogue between pragmatics and formal approaches to language. 

The Th-XPRAG is organized by the Neurolinguistics and Experimental Pragmatics Lab at IUSS Pavia under the auspices of the XPRAG.it research network and is funded by the ERC project “PROcessing MEtaphors: Neurochronometry, Acquisition and DEcay" (PROMENADE).

In addition to Robyn Carston as invited speaker, the workshop will host a number of oral and poster presentations.

The Call for Papers for the Th-XPRAG workshop is closed. 

CALL FOR PAPERS

Papers are invited in the fields of theoretical and experimental pragmatics. Topics include the inferential processes supporting pragmatic competence, its status within the mind architecture, and its fragility in the face of developmental, neurological, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric conditions. Formal and computational approaches to pragmatics are also very welcome.
