 The first to systematically explore the use of game theory for an account of communication as strategic inference was Prashant Parikh in his 1988 dissertation (Parikh 1988). Parikh’s theory is based on what he calls games of partial information, revolves around the game-theoretic solution concept of Pareto-optimal Nash equilibrium and has been refined and applied to various phenomena, including but not restricted to implicature-strengthened utterance meaning, in a series of articles and monographs (e.g., Parikh 1991, 1992, 2000, 2001, 2010, 2019). Another noteworthy early contribution is the work of Asher, Sher, and Williams (2001), which tries to rationalize Grice’s Maxims of Conversation using ideas from game theory. In the following we focus on approaches to implicatures based on so-called iterative reasoning in signaling games. The relation between optimality theory and game theory is explored by Dekker and van Rooij (2000) and Franke and Jäger (2012). Stevens and Benz (2018) give another insightful overview of game-theoretic pragmatics.
