DESCRIPTION:Imagine you are working as a barista a
 t a coffeeshop. A customer asks a polar question l
 ike “Do you have iced tea?” but you've run out. In
  this situation, you might likely provide an overi
 nformative answer going beyond a simple “yes” or “
 no” (e.g., “No, but we've got iced coffee!”), but 
 what principles guide the selection of additional 
 information? This talk proposes that such answers 
 draw on learning about our interlocutors from lang
 uage; they present a non-trivial instance of pragm
 atic communication which depends for complex reaso
 ning drawing on these inferences about the interlo
 cutors and world knowledge. The talk will feature 
 a combination of Bayesian pragmatic models and LLM
  results.
