Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.
Pragmatics — language in use — speech acts and illocutionary force, assertion and common ground, presupposition, dynamic and update semantics, footing and stance in discourse, and probabilistic models of speakers and listeners (rational speech acts); what an utterance does, beyond what it says (ADR-034).

| ARG-012 | An attributed-speaker factorial study shows which relations constitute a communicative act | CASE-021’s factorial study varies the attributed speaker, and a change in act classifications under it would be read as evidence that an act is partly constituted by its relation to the speaker. Telling readers who spoke is a do(I), not a do(S), so such an effect is evidence about interpretation under instruction. CLAIM-130 states the distinction and undercuts the inference. | Rejected |
| ARG-027 | The record’s iterated-learning readings show that pragmatic stances and footing are stabilized by transmission | CLAIM-068 extends iterated learning “to speaker footing and communicative conventions”. Rejected: the record’s readings bear on lexical, structural and functional transmission, and none measures an interpersonal stance, a footing or a speech-act function along a chain. For evaluative stance CASE-068 is chain evidence, a separate line not filed here; for footing there is still no study. | Rejected |
