300137 Game Theory and Pragmatics (S) (SoSe 2021)

Contents, comment

The closest sociological focus on the pragmatics of talk and interaction today is offered by conversation analysis. Most of the people doing conversation analysis, however, have only little interest in theory building, and stick mainly to identifying specific patterns in our ways of talking. There are good reasons for this type of self-constraint. Here, however, the attempt is made to trespass on this restriction and look for more general theoretical explanations and mechanisms that possibly could generate at least some of the patterns in question. This will be done by recourse to the tool box of game theory. The intersection between pragmatics and game theory is not very densely populated, but the number of ideas will suffice to keep us busy for a semester and there is a seductive prospect of future research.
