Game and Decision Theory offers the most rigorous explications of what rational behaviour and decision making are. This is the first book to apply this theory to pragmaticsCutting edge and substantial new approach to fundamental questions of meaning, therefore, but rooted in Gricean conversation tradition, so based on familiar bedrock of pragmatic knowledgeContributions from the very top international names in the field, especially Parikh (originator of the Game/Decision theoretic approach) and StalnakerUseful Introduction and explanation of Game and Decision Theory as a preliminary to the chapters will be suitable for student courses

Beschreibung

Rooted in Gricean tradition, this book concentrates on game- and decision-theoretic (GDT) approaches to the foundations of pragmatics. An Introduction to GDT, with an overview of GDT pragmatics research to date and its relation to semantics and to Gricean pragmatics is followed by contributions offering a high-level survey of current GDT pragmatics and the field of its applications, demonstrating that this approach provides a sound basis for synchronic and diachronic explanations of language use.
