[Lingtyp] Presupposition triggers in typological perspective

[Emily M. Bender]

Dear all,

Is anyone aware of work that looks into presupposition triggers
cross-linguistically? I'm thinking of things like the following from
English:

* factive verbs (know, regret)--presuppose the truth of their complement
* ordinals--my second book was about syntax presupposes that the speaker
also had a first book
* proper names--Kim ran presupposes that there's someone named Kim
etc

Thanks!
Emily
