Kolejny odczyt w ramach seminarium Znak-Język-Rzeczywistość/SLR Seminar (10 IV 2025): Exploiting Ambiguity

Kolejny odczyt seminarium ZJR odbędzie się:

Czwartek, 10 kwietnia 2025, 17.00

Claudia Picazo Jacque

wygłosi odczyt:

Exploiting Ambiguity
(praca przygotowana wspólnie z Laurą Delgado)

Abstrakt:

Although we typically aim at disambiguating between the possiblemeanings or contents of our expressions, we are often quite happy with ambiguities: we tolerate them and even exploit them for various purposes. This paper explores the often-overlooked phenomenon of ambiguity exploitation in communication, and the plural semantic intentions it involves. We argue that the phenomenon calls for a semantic explanation and we motivate a multipropositionalist view of ambiguity exploitation that provides a natural description of the phenomena we present.
