Received views of utterance context in
pragmatic theory characterize the occurrent
subjective states of interlocutors using
notions like common knowledge or
mutual belief. <br>We argue that these views
are not compatible with the uncertainty
and robustness of context-dependence in
humanhuman dialogue. We present an alternative
characterization of utterance context
as objective and normative. This
view reconciles the need for uncertainty
with received intuitions about coordination
and meaning in context, and can directly
inform computational approaches to
dialogue.
