“…Beyond degree-theoretic generalizations of the current framework there are probabilistic extensions, such as Bayesian pragmatics (see Franke & Jäger, 2016, and references therein), which includes models of communication under uncertainty or conflict of interest such as the Rational Speech Act model (Frank, 2017;Franke, 2011;Goodman & Frank, 2016;Sumers et al, 2021). This literature provides a further bridge between the two areas of study we mentioned, interpretation, and persuasion, by offering some insight into the cognitive science of social understanding (Barnett et al, 2022;Goodman & Stuhlmüller, 2013;Oey et al, 2023;Vignero, 2022). We regard it as a strength of a game-theoretic analysis of Stalnakerian conversations that speech act theory can then be seen as central to multiple areas of inquiry.…”
