Pragmatic processing concerns inferences that go beyond the literal meaning of a text or utterance. In my talk, I will go through different types of pragmatic inferences, including scalar implicatures, atypicality inferences and other tasks requiring theory of mind reasoning; for each of these, I will discuss recent work from our lab and others, regarding the ability of large language models, and of humans, to handle these phenomena.
