dc.description.abstractHow Do We Resolve a Misunderstanding? Although two people might have di erent preferences in choosing a signal for a referent, they seem to be able to understand each other. Even when a misinterpretation occurs, people are able to rectify the conversation and align their understanding. In this Bachelor thesis, Frank, Goodman, and Hawkins' (2017) model, which describes a version of the rational speech act (RSA), was implemented and subsequently used as a base model in order to investigate the resolution of misunderstandings. Both, said implementation and an adjusted model are introduced. The modi ed model proposes an updating mechanism based on extended conversational output. Although, this mechanism does not resolve a misunderstanding completely, this thesis outlines many assumptions, of the model and of the framework it is used in, which have to be taken into account when addressing this intriguing question of communication.en_US
