Presupposition 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...
متن کاملAnti-dynamics: presupposition projection without dynamic semantics
Heim 1983 suggested that the analysis of presupposition projection requires that the classical notion of meanings as truth conditions be replaced with a dynamic notion of meanings as Context Change Potentials. But as several researchers (including Heim herself) later noted, the dynamic framework is insufficiently predictive: although it allows one to state that, say, the dynamic effect of F and...
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 کاملThe Epistemics of Presupposition Projection
Pragmatic accounts of presupposition projection go back to work of Karttunen and Stalnaker, who proposed that presuppositions are requirements on the common ground and that their projection behaviour should follow from the way this common ground is updated in a discourse. This idea has been worked out by various authors who made the idea of shifting context precise, most notably Heim 1983, and ...
متن کاملPresupposition Projection: the New Debate
A powerful intuition behind much recent research is that a presupposition must be satisfied in its context of evaluation. The relevant notion of context is, in Stalnaker’s terminology (Stalnaker 1978), the ‘context set’, which encodes what the speech act participants take for granted (we will say ‘context’ for short). But the simplest version of this analysis faces immediate difficulties with c...
