[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Colloquium: October 21, Ira Noveck (University of Lyon)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Ira Noveck (Laboratory for Language, Brain and Cognition, University of Lyon) Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Dan Sperber Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Towards an experimentally-based taxonomy of pragmatic inferences “In this talk I will review some of the highlights from the experimental pragmatics literature while arguing for a distinction between two kinds of pragmatic enrichments, those that I call voluntary and those that I call coerced. Voluntary pragmatic enrichments, exemplified by scalar inferences, are optional in the sense that the linguistically encoded meaning of an utterance could be good enough for discerning a speaker's informative intention; in these cases, enrichments arise in order to produce a narrower interpretation. That is, while Some cats are mammals can be considered true if one employs Some with its lexical meaning (which can be viewed as good enough for processing), a listener who has the processing capability is in the position to enrich the meaning of Some (so that it is taken to mean Some and not all) and produce a false response. Coerced readings, exemplified by metaphor, arise when a pragmatic enrichment is practically necessary on the part of the listener in order to arrive at a reasonable hypothesis about the speaker's meaning. Sentences such as My son is a tadpole would be false without such effort. This distinction between voluntary and coerced enrichments can be handy for describing empirically difficult cases such as the invited inferences linked to conditionals (e.g. how if p then q appears to generate if q then p) and for describing why data appear to vary with respect to those who fall on the autism spectrum.” We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] invitation to a talk on`Fictional Names`by Lee Walters - Tuesday, 20 October, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Lee Walters (University of Southampton) on Fictional Names Tuesday, 20 October 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Our discourse about fiction seems to pull us different directions. On the one hand, Sherlock Holmes does not exist, on the other he was created by Conan Doyle. I argue that the best approach is to admit that fictional names are ambiguous having both a referring and non-referring use. I motivate and defend this proposal by looking at other cases of metonymic transfer.

[Koglist] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: October 14, Wednesday: Claes von Hofsten (Uppsala University) - How infants come to control their looking

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by Claes von Hofsten (Uppsala University) Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Natalie Sebanz, Head of Department Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. How infants come to control their looking Keeping a stable gaze on the point of interest is of critical importance for the extraction of visual information about the environment. One reason is that although visual acuity is exquisite within the foveal region, it rapidly deteriorates outside it. Another reason is that displacements of retinal images cause gross deteriorations of acuity. Therefore gaze direction has to be adjusted smoothly and continuously to compensate for object motion and body movements. Functional looking does not only include the eyes. They are positioned within a movable head that in turn is placed on a movable body. The head is not only a base for the eye movements, but is itself an active participant in the coordination effort. The gaze stabilization task is dynamic and has to function when the subject as well as the object moves. This requires prediction of what is going to happen next. The system must predict upcoming body movements as well as movements of interest in the environment. Thus, embodied cognition is an important part of gaze control.
