The Semantics and Pragmatics of Presupposition
In this paper, we offer a novel analysis of presuppositions, paving particular attention to the interaction between the knowledge resources that are required to interpret them. The analysis has two main features. First, we capture an analogy between presuppositions, anaphora and scope ambiguity (cf. van der Sandt 1992), by utilizing semantic underspecification (c£ Reyle 1993). Second, resolving...
متن کاملPresupposition Accommodation in Update Semantics
The study of presuppositions lies on the border of semantics and pragmatics. It concerns information, assumed to be part of the discourse context by the speaker, as apparent in the syntactic form of the utterance. Missing presupposed information will normally be lled in by the hearer, provided it is compatible with the context. My thesis tries to characterise this process of presupposition acco...
متن کاملFactivity and presupposition in Dependent Type Semantics
Dependent Type Semantics (DTS, Bekki [3]) is a framework of natural language semantics based on dependent type theory (Martin-Löf [19]). In contrast to traditional model-theoretic semantics, DTS is a proof-theoretic semantics, where entailment relations are characterized as provability relations between semantic representations. One of the distinctive features of DTS, as compared to other type-...
متن کاملPresupposition on Times and Degrees: The Semantics of Mandarin hái
Mandarin adverb hái allows for two main interpretations when associated with gradable properties. Descriptive work usually discriminate between ‘temporal’ and ‘comparative’ readings of hái, while the semantic core of the adverb has been defined in terms of scalarity. In this paper, our purpose is to give an understanding of the topic by providing the basis for an analysis of the adverb at the s...
متن کاملPresupposition Projection and the Semantics of Attitude Verbs
Karttunen observed that, if the complement of an attitude sentence presupposes p, then that sentence as a whole presupposes that the attitude-holder believes p. I attempt to derive some representative instances of this generalization from suitable assumptions about the lexical semantics of attitude predicates. The enterprise is carried out in a framework of context change semantics, which incor...
