The Semantics team was represented with two talks at the workshop Measuring Commitments in Communication (MCC), held at Radboud University Nijmegen.
Lennart Fritzsche gave a talk titled “Measuring commitment: A diagnostic comparison using belief–commitment dissociation”. Sebastian Walter, together with Jonas Hartke (Göttingen), gave a talk titled “Measuring commitment in iconic gesture: The role of (not-)at-issueness”.
Together, the two talks contributed to the workshop’s broader discussion of experimental approaches to the study of commitment, with a focus on diagnostic methods and the role of commitment in visual communication.
