Abstract and Keywords
This chapter reviews core empirical phenomena and technical concepts from linguistic pragmatics, including context dependence, common ground, indexicality, conversational implicature, presupposition, and speech acts. It seeks to identify unifying themes among these concepts, provide a high-level guide to the primary literature, and relate the phenomena to issues in computational linguistics.
Keywords: context dependence, common ground, indexicality, conversational implicature, presupposition, speech acts
