Talk

Part of:

Session 3

When:

2:30 PM, Friday 29 May 2026 EDT (1 hour)

Theme:

Linguistique

Common ground is the information that interlocutors treat as true and shared for the purpose of their interaction. I will highlight the fact that some of what we treat as common ground comes apart from what we believe, and some of it we treat as true only for certain conversational purposes. This will lead to a discussion of conversation plans in general.
