The recently emerging field of experimental pragmatic s has painted a complex picture of the interaction between semantic and pragmatic information in phe nomena as diverse as implicature, referentiality, figurative meaning, prosody, and presupposition. I n parallel, advances in probabilistic and game-the oretic models that treat pragmatic inference as a problem of reasoning under uncertainty have yielde d testable quantitative predictions about the outc ome of many different kinds of pragmatic inference . Despite this progress, a great deal of work is n eeded on the mathematical foundations and quantita tive empirical grounding of pragmatics, and, most critically, the connection between the two. The ai m of this ESSLLI-2014 workshop is to promote dialo g and community for these lines of research: stren gthening the search for an empirically grounded fo rmal pragmatics.
