    Abstract

    This Element tries to discern the known unknowns in the field
    of pragmatics, the ‘Dark Matter’ of the title. We can identify a key
    bottleneck in human communication, the sheer limitation on the speed
    of speech encoding: pragmatics occupies the niche nestled between
    slow speech encoding and fast comprehension. Pragmatic strategies
    are tricks for evading this tight encoding bottleneck by meaning more
    than you say. Five such tricks are reviewed, which are all domains where
    we have made considerable progress. We can then ask for each of these
    areas, where have we neglected to push the frontier forward? These are
    the known unknowns of pragmatics, key areas, and topics for future
    research. The Element thus offers a brief review of some central areas of
    pragmatics, and a survey of targets for future research.
