Dear colleagues,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; color: rgb(29, 33, 37); font-size: 15px;">
on Tuesday, <span style="font-weight: bolder;">November 28th, 18:30</span> (Hörsaal 1, Sensengasse 3A, Dept. of Linguistics), <span style="font-weight: bolder;">Roland Mühlenbernd</span> (Leibniz-ZAS Berlin) will give a talk at the <a href="https://wsg.univie.ac.at/veranstaltungen/roland-muehlenbernd-modeling-imprecision-in-context/?mc_id=32" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166); background-color: transparent;">Wiener
Sprachgesellschaft</a> about his current research on language and game theory:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; color: rgb(29, 33, 37); font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-weight: bolder;">Modeling (im)precision in context</span></p>
<p id="x_yui_3_18_1_1_1700645274298_59" style="margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; color: rgb(29, 33, 37); font-size: 15px;">
<span id="x_yui_3_18_1_1_1700645274298_58">Speakers’ choice between linguistic alternatives often depends on the situation, a prime example involving level of precision at which numerical information is communicated. I will report on a production study in which
participants report the time of an event in two different situations, and demonstrate that the results can be reproduced by a probabilistic game-theoretical model in which the speaker’s choice reflects a tradeoff between informativity, accuracy and hearer-oriented
simplification. These findings shed light on the pragmatics of (im)precision, and the dynamics of situationally driven pragmatic variation more generally.</span></p>
