Felicity and Presupposition Triggers
Many current pragmatic approaches to presupposition, beginning at least with Stalnaker (1974), are based on a notion of felicity. Presuppositions are requirements a sentence places upon a context for an utterance of that sentence to be felicitous. These requirements in turn are induced by the presence of certain presupposition triggers, such as lexical items like factive verbs, or constructions...
متن کاملParticles: presupposition triggers or context markers
This paper discusses two possible formal approaches to the semantic/pragmatic particles of a subclass of the modal particles. It may well be that the approaches can be applied to other particles or that they can be applied to certain intonational patterns (e.g. contrastive stress), to morphemes (past tense, agreement) or to words (pronouns), constructions (some uses of definite descriptions, cl...
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 کاملExperimental Investigations of the Typology of Presupposition Triggers
The behaviour of presupposition triggers in human language has been extensively studied and given rise to many distinct theoretical proposals. One intuitively appealing way of characterising presupposition is to argue that it constitutes backgrounded meaning, which does not contribute to updating the conversational record, and consequently may not be challenged or refuted by discourse participa...
متن کاملThe 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 ...
