The Kinematics of Presupposition

The Context Change Potential Model of presuppositions, due to Heim, Kartunnen and Stalnaker, is examined in the light of recent work in dynamic semantics. It is shown that some phenomena concerning the interaction of presupposition and quantification, which had been thought troublesome for the Context Change Model, can be handled without invoking local or intermediate accommodation. A model of ...

Experimental Work in Presupposition and Presupposition Projection

Recent years have seen a surge of experimental approaches to the study of natural language meaning, both to get solid data on subtle phenomena hard to assess through introspection, and to understand how abstract characterizations of linguistic knowledge relate to real-time cognitive processes in language comprehension. The present paper reviews work in one of the most recent areas to see extens...

The Importance of Presupposition

The title of this paper may seem presumptuous. But I have chosen it anyway, as a signal of what I see as the central insight that recent studies of presuppo-sition in natural language have given us. Presuppositions are not what early discussions suggested and later ones have, I feel, still done too little to explicitly refute: obstacles to logical transparence, logical simplicity or well-deened...
