Question

RSA models within this subfield, developed by Michael D. Frank and Noah D. Goodman, use recursive Bayesian (-5[1])probability (-5[1])to model the interaction between L1, S1, and L0. Working within this subfield, Geoffrey Leech (-5[1])posited the existence of several conventions including generosity and sympathy. This subfield’s cooperative principle (10[1])requires (10[1])that participants (10[1]-5[2])make (10[1])contributions (-5[1])abiding by the maxims (-5[1])of quantity, (10[2]-5[1])quality, (10[2])relation, (-5[2])and manner. (10[1]-5[2])This subfield (10[1]-5[1])separates (10[1])illocutionary acts (10[2])from merely descriptive utterances (-5[2])and was pioneered (-5[1])by Paul Grice, (10[1]-5[1])who coined the term “implicature.” (-5[1])For 10 points, name (10[1])this subfield within linguistics, (-5[2])often contrasted with semantics, (10[2]-5[5])that examines (-5[2])the meaning (10[1])of utterances when considered in their (10[1])context.
