The readings this week will be on different formal approaches to pragmatics and form choice. Frank et al 2009 describes a Bayesian approach to modeling informativeness about an intended meaning in production. attachment:frank2009.pdf

Jäger 2011 describes the game-theoretic approach to pragmatics, and we'll be focusing mostly on the Iterated Best Response model which I believe he's also going to talk about on 2/15 when he visits. attachment:jaeger2011.pdf

More notes to follow as the weekend unfolds.
