Speaker meaning and accountability in interaction (2013, neutral): “…on speaker meaning in pragmatics to assume that the recognition and attribution of speaker intentions underlies communication, thereby grounding speaker meaning (and intentions) in a presumed cognitive reality (e.g. Bara, 2010, 2011; Carston, 2002; Levinson, 2006; Sperber and Wilson, 1995).”
Universal Implicatures and Free Choice Effects: Experimental Data (2009, background): “…philosophical debates on the semantics/pragmatics interface have provided a variety of definitions and perspectives on meaning, context and the interaction between the two, and these sustain the debate (see for instance recent works by Bach 2002; Carston 2002; Recanati 2004; Szabó 2006).”
Intuitions and Individual Differences: The Knobe Effect Revisited (2007, background): “There are also important questions about the nature of the concepts that get elicited under these different interpretations (see e.g. Carston, 2002).”
Expecting Irony: Context Versus Salience-Based Effects (2007, background): “On the assumption that irony stands in some contrast to (the salient meanings of the components of) what is said (Carston, 2002; Colston, 2002; Colston & O’Brien, 2000; Giora, 1995), it would require complex processes of adjustment to contextual information even when the latter is highly predictive.”
A Developmental Investigation of Processing Costs in Implicature Production (2007, background): “There are of course variations on this theme: Children might be asked whether the puppet said it in the best possible way (Papafragou and Musolino (2003)) or which of two puppets said it best (Chierchia et al. (2004)).”
The co-constitution of politeness implicature in conversation (2007, positive): “Carston (2002), for example, concludes in her comprehensive defense of the concept of explicature that “the distinction between explicatures and implicatures, the two kinds of communicated assumptions, is primarily a derivational distinction and may have no greater import than that” (p.366).”
Sarcasm, Pretense, and The Semantics/ Pragmatics Distinction ∗ (2012, background): “Indeed, sarcasm is often presented as " the textbook case, " as Robyn Carston (2002, 15) says, of the fact that speaker's meaning can come apart from sentence meaning.”
Parallels and differences in the treatment of metaphor in relevance theory and cognitive linguistics (2011, methodology): “The broadening can be almost imperceptible, as in the following cases of approximation: 3 For recent relevance-theoretic treatments of metaphor, see e.g. Carston (2002), Higashimori (2002), Wilson and Sperber (2002), Vega Moreno (2007), Wilson and Carston (2007, 2008), Sperber and Wilson (2008).”
