Presupposition refers to assumptions that are taken for granted prior to an utterance. Various presupposition triggers are discussed, including factive and aspectual verbs. Presuppositions must be true regardless of whether the statement is true. The document contrasts semantic and pragmatic approaches to analyzing presupposition and provides examples of entailment, presupposition, and presupposition failure.
Entailment and presupposition semantics and pragmatics
This document discusses entailment and presupposition in semantics. It defines entailment as something that logically follows from an utterance. Presupposition is something assumed to be true before an utterance. There are two approaches to presupposition - semantic and pragmatic. Presuppositions are produced by triggers like factive verbs and aspectual verbs. Presuppositions relate to truth conditions and can fail if the presupposed information is not true. Pragmatic theories view presupposition as a pragmatic phenomenon influenced by syntax, intonation and background information.
