The workshop examines how individual differences shape pragmatic processing, the ways speakers infer meaning in context. While pragmatics is central to communication, people vary systematically in how they derive implicatures, resolve reference, and adapt to context. These differences relate to cognitive, psychological, and social factors such as memory, attention, and theory of mind. Bringing together experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches, the workshop explores how such variability influences linguistic interpretation, interaction, and potentially semantic change. It also addresses how pragmatic differences develop, how they can be studied empirically, and how individual variation may scale up to community-level language patterns.
