Presupposition Projection and Anaphora in Quantified Sentences
Quantified sentences constitute a recalcitrant problem for theories of presupposition projection, and a great number of attempts have been made to explicate the projection properties of quantificational expressions (Karttunen & Peters 1979, Cooper 1983, Heim 1983, van der Sandt 1992, Beaver 1994, 2001, Fox 2008, 2012, George 2008a,b, Schlenker 2008, Charlow 2009, Chemla 2009b, Schlenker 2009, F...
متن کاملExperimental 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...
متن کاملPresupposition Projection in Quantified Sentences and Cross-Dimensional Anaphora ̊
Presupposition projection is one of the most widely discussed topics in modern formal semantics and pragmatics, and a multitude of theories in various formal frameworks have been put forward in the literature (for overviews, see Beaver 2001, Chierchia & McConnell-Ginet 2000, Geurts 1999, Kadmon 2001, Beaver & Geurts 2011). Although these theories significantly differ both in empirical predictio...
متن کاملIncremental vs. symmetric accounts of presupposition projection: an experimental approach∗
The presupposition triggered by an expression E is generally satisfied by information that comes before rather than after E in the sentence or discourse. In Heim’s classic theory (1983), this left-right asymmetry is encoded in the lexical semantics of dynamic connectives and operators. But several recent analyses offer a more nuanced approach, in which presupposition satisfaction has two separa...
متن کاملTransparency : An Incremental Theory of Presupposition Projection
We sketch a theory in which presuppositions do not directly impose conditions on the context set, but rather on the contextual meaning of a sentence. Specifically, a part of an expression's meaning which is marked as presupposed should satisfy a principle of Transparency, according to which this part can be disregarded without affecting the contextual meaning of the sentence. We argue that if T...
