Principle](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sieker-2023-when-your-language-model-cannot/)** *(2023)* The paper asks whether masked language models follow the Maximize Presupposition! principle (MP!), which says a speaker should use the presuppositionally stronger of two alternatives when both are true: "the" over "a" when there is exactly one item, and "both" over "all" for two items. 2. **[Know What You Don't Know: Modeling a Pragmatic Speaker that Refers to Objects of Unknown Categories](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zarrie-2019-know-what-you-don-t/)** *(2019)* A speaker must refer to an object in an image whose category the speaker does not know, for example a bus when only cars were seen in training. 3. **[Underspecifying and Predicting Voice for Surface Realisation Ranking](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zarrie-2011-underspecifying-predicting-voice-surface-realisation/)** *(2011)* The authors regenerate German corpus sentences with a reversible LFG grammar and a ranker that chooses among the candidate realisations. ## Co-authors (4) - [Aoife Cahill](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aoife-cahill/) - David Schlangen - [Jonas Kuhn](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jonas-kuhn/) - Judith Sieker ## More papers in the library (2) Pages of the Research library: our summary, the ideas, references and who cites each. - [The Frequency Confound in Language-Model Surprisal and Metaphor Novelty](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/momen-2026-frequency-confound-language-model-surprisal/) — Omar Momen, Sina Zarrieß · 2026 - [Are BabyLMs Deaf to Gricean Maxims?
