Talk presented at the Language Documentation: Past – Present – Future Conference. Talk presented at Language Sciences Annual Symposium 2015. (2015).Turn-taking, language processing and the evolution of language. The incredible thing we do during conversations. A central concern of the book is the relation between pragmatics and semantics, and Dr Levinson shows clearly how a pragmatic approach can resolve some of the problems.

In Word of Mouth: Series exploring the world of words and the ways in which we use them (BBC Radio 4). 1984/1986, The semantics/pragmatics/kinesics of space in Guugu Yimidhirr. This textbook provides a lucid and integrative analysis of the central topics in pragmatics - deixis, implicature, presupposition, speech acts, and conversational structure. Talk presented at the 30th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing.
This textbook provides a lucid and integrative analysis of the central topics in pragmatics - deixis, implicature, presupposition, speech. Processing in interactive language use offers clues to the evolution of language. Those aspects of language use that are crucial to an understanding of language as a system, and especially to an understanding of meaning, are the acknowledged concern of linguistic pragmatics. Talk presented at 'Distinctive Voices', a Public Science Lecture Series of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Talk presented at 'Pressing Questions in the Study of Psychological and Behavioral Diversity', an Arthur M. In my analyses of examples of irony from the novel, I make use of Levinson's pragmatic theory, which involves the interaction among three principles. Constructive suggestions for research with VITAL samples: The lessons from language research. 'Goody Lecture 2020', for the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology. A central concern of the book is the relation between pragmatics and semantics, and Dr Levinson shows clearly how a pragmatic approach can resolve some of the problems semantics have been confronting and simplifying semantic analyses. Language acquisition and conceptual development Turn-Taking in Human Communicative Interaction My work attempts both to grasp what this diversity is all about, and to exploit it as a way of discovering the role that language plays in our everyday cognition.ĭownload CURRICULUM VITAE (PDF) Selected Publicationsĭemonstratives in Cross-Linguistic Perspective
Levinson Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics For those who want to treat language as a generative system for objectively describing the world, deixis is one hell of a big black fly in the ointment. Language is the only animal communication system that differs radically in form and meaning across social groups of the same species, a fact that has been neglected in the cognitive sciences. ‘Deixis and Pragmatics’ for Handbook of Pragmatics handb-horn4.doc Stephen C. The construction of a theory of politeness2 may help us envision how politeness1 works in social interaction, what its function is in society, how polite behavior is.
My research focusses on language diversity and its implications for theories of human cognition. Politeness2 refers to the scientific conceptualization of politeness1 and as a theory of the universal principles governing human interaction.
