Presupposition cancellation: explaining the ‘soft–hard’ trigger distinction

Natural Language Semantics, 2016

The cognitive load of presupposition triggers. 2013: mandatory and optional repairs in presupposition failure.

2014
If a speaker utters a sentence p containing a presupposition trigger that activates a presupposition q, and q does not belong to the common ground of presuppositions, it is a case of presupposition failure. If this occurs, speakers are required to repair the failure to make sense of the utterance.
