Workshopbeschreibung: This interdisciplinary linguistic-literary workshop investigates how (multiple) common ground(s) and updates interact in the interpretation of literary texts. Research has shown that linguistic mechanisms apply in literary texts in the same way as they apply in other types of utterances or texts. Besides a general investigation of this perspective, a focus of the workshop is the fruitfulness of theories of communication based on the common ground. Literature serves as an interesting example for complex common ground architectures: reading a text involves multiple common grounds, those internal to the story and those external to the story. We will consider possible inferences that the reader can draw from such configurations. In addition to presentations, we will hold a panel discussion on the role of linguistics for the study of literary texts on the one hand, and the role of literary texts for theory building in linguistics, especially linguistic pragmatics, on the other hand.
