Strengthening Conditional Presuppositions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper it will be shown how conditional presuppositions can be strengthened to unconditional ones if we assume that the antecedent and consequent of a conditional presupposition are independent of one another. Our notion of independence is very weak, and based on Lewis’ (1988) notion of orthogonality of questions. It will be argued that our way to strengthen these presuppositions does not give rise to some wrong predictions Geurts (1996) argued other proposed strengthening accounts do.

Presuppositions, provisos, and probability
Theories of presupposition in the tradition associated with Karttunen, Stalnaker and Heim relate presupposition satisfaction to the content of conversational participants’ epistemic states, usually modeled as sets of worlds. However, converging evidence from recent work on modality and from other areas of cognitive science suggests that epistemic states are better thought of as having the riche...
متن کاملThe Proviso Problem: A Note*
Several theories of presupposition projection predict that some sentences which intuitively yield unconditional presuppositions should have weaker, conditional ones. For instance, If John is realistic, he knows that he is incompetent is predicted to have the presupposition that if John is realistic, he is incompetent, whereas one certainly infers that John is in fact incompetent. We summarize s...
متن کاملSelecting Presuppositions in Conditional Clauses. Results from a Psycholinguistic Experiment
In this paper, we propose an experiment concerning presupposition selection in conditional sentences containing a presupposition trigger in the consequent. Many theories claim that sentences like if p, q q'-where q is the presupposition of the assertive component q'-have unconditional presuppositions, namely, they simply project q. Other theories suggest that these kinds of conditional sentence...
متن کاملPresuppositions and Antipresuppositions in Conditionals
Utterances of counterfactual conditionals are typically attended by the information that their antecedents are false. But there is as yet no account of the source of this information that is both detailed and complete. This paper describes the problem of counterfactual antecedent falsity and argues that the problem can be addressed by appeal to an adequate account of the presuppositions of vari...
متن کاملOn the Conversational Basis of Some Presuppositions
0. Introduction The current literature on presupposition focuses almost exclusively on the projection problem: the question of how and why the presuppositions of atomic clauses are projected to complex sentences which embed them. Very little attention has been paid to the question of how and why these presuppositions arise at all. As Kay (1992, p.335) observes, " treatments of the presuppositio...
