Processing Presupposition Triggers
2016The aim of this chapter is to investigate the problem of processing different categories of presupposition triggers. As claimed in Chap. 2, 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
