“…5 Especially influential in this line of research is the idea that social perception can be mapped onto a common underlying trait space which consists of two core, orthogonal dimensions: (a) the evaluation of someone's intentions and disposition towards others, most commonly known as Warmth, or a socially good/bad dimension (e.g., considerateness, likability, friendliness); and (b) the evaluation of someone's individual skills and ability to achieve goals, commonly known as Competence, or an intellectually good/bad dimension (e.g., knowledgeability, capability, assertiveness: Fiske et al, 2002;Fiske et al, 2007;3 Other work supporting a more integrated view of pragmatic and social inferences focuses on social inferences from linguistic forms that are likely to require pragmatic reasoning to be interpreted in a particular context. Relevant examples include demonstratives (Acton & Potts, 2014;Lakoff, 1974); intensifiers (Beltrama & Staum Casasanto, 2017; modals (Glass, 2015;Karawani & Waldon, 2017); numerals words (Beltrama, 2018;; determiners (Acton, 2019); and rising intonational contours (Jeong, 2021). This body of work examines the social qualities associated -at least to a certain extent -with specific lexical items or devices, and hence differs from work on politeness that focuses on mechanisms that generate social inferences from broad kinds of pragmaticconversational choices.…”
