DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: One of the most exciting developments in
  research on pragmatics in the last twenty years h
 as been the opening up of theoretical issues to ex
 perimental investigation. Alongside traditional ps
 ycholinguistic work on the mechanisms underlying b
 roadly pragmatic processes such as disambiguation\
 , reference resolution\, the interpretation of ind
 irect speech acts\, implicatures\, metaphor\, iron
 y\, etc.\, we find a growing body of experimental 
 work specifically designed to test competing theor
 etical pragmatic accounts of these and other pragm
 atic processes. Much of this work has involved col
 laboration among theoretical pragmatists/philosoph
 ers and cognitive scientists. However\, collaborat
 ive work of this type is still in its infancy\, an
 d the coverage of theoretical issues remains rathe
 r patchy. In this talk\, I will discuss a few case
 s where collaboration between theoretical pragmati
 sts and cognitive scientists has been of real bene
 fit\, a few where the lack of collaboration has be
 en a hindrance (in both directions)\, and a few wh
 ich seem plausible candidates for future research.
  I will end with some thoughts on how ‘pragmatics’
  is understood in work of this type.\n\n\nNoveck\,
