DRT with Local Contexts1
In this note, we reconstruct some results of the DRT analysis of presupposition projection within the theory of local contexts of Schlenker 2009. The latter offered a way to annotate every sentence with variables that denote the various local context sets that play a crucial role in Heim’s satisfaction theory (Heim 1983). In standard satisfaction theories, a presupposition must be entailed by i...
متن کاملLocal Contexts and Local Meanings
Stalnaker (1974, 1979) made two seminal claims about presuppositions. The most influential one was that presupposition projection is computed by a pragmatic mechanism based on a notion of ‘local context’. Due to conceptual and technical difficulties, however, the latter notion was reinterpreted in purely semantic terms within ‘dynamic semantics’ (Heim 1983). The second claim was that some insta...
متن کاملLayered DRT
The information conveyed by any utterance is a motley ensemble. Utterances carry content about the world as it is according to the speaker, but also about speakers’ attitudes, the way they speak, what has been said before, and so on. There are many kinds of information that are conveyed by way of language, and differences in kind correlate with differences in status. Presupposed information exh...
متن کاملSome Diierent Approaches to Drt
This paper discusses some issues in various approaches to Discourse Representation Theory. This is not intended to be detailed descriptions of various systems but general comparisons between both implementations of DRT and descriptions of DRT in some other context (e.g. a situation theoretic framework). The intention is to show how close (or how diierent) these approaches are and which aspects ...
متن کاملLocal Contexts: a Précis
For the last thirty years, it has been assumed that a presupposition must be entailed (or ‘satisfied’) by the context, construed as what is common belief between the speaker and addressee: John has stopped smoking is acceptable in a context C just in case C entails that John used to smoke. Technically, the context in this sense is often called the ‘context set’, identified with the set of possi...
