Presuppositions as beliefs [PDF]
Proceedings of the 12th conference on Computational linguistics -, 1988 Most theories of presupposition implicitly assume that presuppositions are facts, and that all agents involved in a discourse share belief in the presuppositions that it generates.

Presupposition and negation † [PDF]
Journal of Semantics, 1988 Abstract Ever since Strawson proposed (1950, 1952, 1954) to regard the negation operator in natural language as presupposition-preserving, there has been unclarity, in most of the literature, about the logical consequences of such a proposal.

Effects of linguistic context on the acceptability of co-speech gestures
Glossa, 2018 We ask whether iconic co-speech gestures are judged as more natural by naive participants when their content is entailed by a preceding context, or repeated in the same utterance, or when they contribute new information (i.e., are nontrivial).

Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3
