In parallel, advances in probabilist ic and game-theoretic models that treat pragmatic inference as a problem of reasoning under uncertai nty have yielded testable quantitative predictions about the outcome of many different kinds of prag matic inference. Despite this progress, a great de al of work is needed on the mathematical foundatio ns and quantitative empirical grounding of pragmat ics, and, most critically, the connection between the two. The aim of this ESSLLI-2014 workshop is t o promote dialog and community for these lines of research: strengthening the search for an empirica lly grounded formal pragmatics.

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.
