Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Determine communicative success by comparing intention of speaker (proposition) and interpretation of hearer.

1	SUCCESS(proposition, interpretation, situation)

`proposition`	Intended/speaker meaning
`interpretation`	Interpretation/hearer meaning
`situation`	Contextual situation in which communication took place.

If there are no distractor events ongoing, success is determined by comparing the speaker and hearer meanings; otherwise, communication is successful if the same target event is selected.

Logical: 1 for success; 0 for failure
