On interactivity in probabilistic pragmatics: yet another rational analysis of scalar implicatures

Probabilistic pragmatics follows the recent trend in cognitive science to understand cognition as Bayesian inference and rational decision making under uncertainty (Chater, Tenenbaum, and Yuille 2006; Tenenbaum et al. 2011). As the insights, tools, and ideas that drive this trend may also be useful for linguists, Franke and Jäger (this volume), henceforce F&J, draw attention to these developments and give a timely introduction to probabilistic pragmatics by showcasing some substantive examples (see also Goodman and Lassiter 2015).
