## Papers

1. **[A fine-grained comparison of pragmatic language understanding in humans and language models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hu-2023-fine-grained-comparison-pragmatic-language/)** *(2023)* Seven pragmatic phenomena (white lies, indirect requests, irony, flouted maxims, metaphor, humour, coherence) are tested with expert-written multiple-choice items: a 1–3 sentence story, a character's utterance, and «what did they mean?».
2. **[Expectations over Unspoken Alternatives Predict Pragmatic Inferences](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hu-2023-expectations-over-unspoken-alternatives-predict/)** *(2023)* Scalar inferences ("some" implies "not all") vary a lot from one instance to another, and across scales such as "good, excellent".
