Research Interests

Gauker's primary projects concern the nature of linguistic communication. He questions the theory that linguistic communication is a matter of speakers' revealing the contents of their thoughts to hearers and proposes to replace it with a conception of linguistic communication as aiming to produce a correct representation of the context pertinent to a conversation. This entails both a distinctive conception of the semantics of natural language and a conception of linguistic cognition as resting on a kind of nonconceptual thought. For a complete list of Gauker's publications, please see his personal website.
