The STAC project will develop new, for-mal and robust models of non-cooperative conversation, drawing from ideas in lin-guistics, philosophy, computer science, and economics. The project brings a state of the art, linguistic theory of discourse interpre-tation together with new data-driven mod-els of agent interaction and strategic deci-sion making. Here we discuss the project’s linguistic underpinnings, and the concep-tual and empirical challenges the project faces. We also describe the project’s cur-rent data collection activities. 1
