Abstract:
'Take some more tea,' the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.'I've
had nothing yet,' Alice replied in an offended tone,' so I can't take more.'
Alice in Wonderland, ch. VII
With her reply, Alice rejects something that her interlocutor seems to take
for granted. Ever since Frege's and Russell's classical works on meaning
and reference, such presuppositions have been a major theme in 20th century
philosophy of language, with the existence and uniqueness expressed by
definite descriptions like the King of France in focus. With the
development of formal semantics in the 1970s, linguists have started to
systematically explore this rich and pervasive phenomenon and particularly
the way in which presuppositions depend on their environment. Although the
role of context-dependence for their understanding has long been
recognized, only the more sophisticated models of meaning representation
such as Discourse Representation Theory, founded by Hans Kamp around 1980,
opened the opportunity to account for their behaviour adequately and in
full detail. The 10 studies collected in this volume, authored by some of
the leading experts in the field, give a live view of the current state of
the art of presupposition analysis and should therefore be of great value
to anybody interested in the field of natural language semantics and cognition.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
