Pragmatic Presupposition

More about the book

Exploring presupposition as a key pragmatic concept, this book delves into its connections with philosophy, logic, syntax, and speech act theory. It provides a thorough analysis of both semantic and pragmatic aspects, examining various presupposition-triggers with illustrative examples. Key properties such as defeasibility and behavior under negation are highlighted, alongside a discussion of the projection problem in relation to presuppositional grammar. This work aims to be a valuable resource for researchers in the field of Pragmatics globally.
