Factivity, Belief and Discourse⇤
A variety of attitude predicates seem to presuppose that their complement is true, including the cognitive factives (know, discover, realize), which presuppose their propositional complement p, and emotive factives (love, regret, sad), which presuppose both p and the attitude holder’s belief in p. It will be shown that, in sharp contrast, no predicate in English that reports a communicative act...
