Situations, presuppositions, and descriptions by Read, AJL

“…In so doing, I defend an analysis of definite descriptions as expressions of type e, whose uniqueness presuppositions are stage-managed by the manipulation of syntactic situation pronouns. …”

Situations, presuppositions, and contexts by Lewerentz, LF

Presupposition, assertion, and definite descriptions by Elbourne, P

“…In recent work on the semantics of definite descriptions, some theorists (Elbourne in Definite descriptions, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2013; Schoubye in Noûs 47(3):496–533, 2013) have advocated broadly Fregean accounts, whereby a definite description ‘the F’ introduces a presupposition to the effect that there is exactly one F and refers to it if there is, while other theorists (Abbott, in: Gundel, Hedberg (eds) Reference: Interdisciplinary perspectives, Oxford University Press, Oxford, pp. 61–72, 2008; Hawthorne and Manley in The reference book, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2012) have advocated accounts whereby ‘the F’ introduces a presupposition to the effect that there is exactly one F but otherwise has the semantics of ‘an F’, introducing existential quantification. …”

Explaining presupposition projection with dynamic semantics by Rothschild, D

Clause-internal coherence as presupposition resolution by Sasaki, K, Altshuler, D

Comprehending anaphoric presuppositions involves memory retrieval too by Chen, S, Husband, E

“…We investigate the memory retrieval mechanism that underlies the realtime comprehension of anaphoric presupposition triggers. Using the Drift Diffusion Model, we offer a new experimental argument for the anaphoric view of presuppositions with evidence from the memory retrieval processes associated with the trigger too. …”

Multi-sentential category mistakes by Elbourne, P

“…This phenomenon is analysed in terms of the previous sentence giving rise to a presupposition that is shown to be false only in the last sentence.…”

‘Certain modes of valuation are appropriate to certain goods.’ (Sandel, 1998) Does financial valuation undermine dignity? by Thompson, A

“…I argue that this presupposition gives us reason to consider restricting market transactions. …”

Divine providence and natural contingency: new perspectives from Aquinas on the divine action debate by Kopf, S

“…There is a view, however, associated with this presupposition although not properly dependent on it. …”

Non-restrictive Adjective Interpretation and Association with Focus

“…It is shown that a non-restrictive interpretation, in French and in English, arises not as a result of inherent properties of the noun modified by the adjective, but from accommodation of a presupposition that elements denoted by the noun generally have the property denoted by the adjective.…”

Truth by Rumfitt, I

“…This explanation differs from others in taking a statement’s having a content (i.e. its saying that things are thus-and-so) to be a presupposition of an attribution of truth to it. This paper shows how this feature opens the way to a distinctive solution to the Liar Paradox and to a foundation for the axiomatic theories of truth now favoured by many logicians.…”

Assertion and Epistemic Opacity by Hawthorne, J, Magidor, O

“…We pay special attention (Sect. 2) to an interesting argument that Stalnaker offers to bolster the transparency of presupposition (an argument that, if successful, could also form the basis of a defence of the KK principle). © 2011 Hawthorne and Magidor.…”

Phenomenology and the self's measure: studies in subjectivity by DeLay, S

“…<p>The philosophical tradition has long understood subjectivity solely in reference to the self's place within the world and the powers of intentional transcendence which open it. Nowhere is this presupposition more apparent than in the thought of Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty. …”

Eucharistic priority in Hilary of Poitiers' trinitarian theology: a critique of contemporary approaches to divine–human communio by Mercer, J

“… <p style="text-align:justify;"> The notion of koinonia or communio is at the heart of contemporary ecclesiology, and trinitarian theology has become its necessary presupposition. This article argues that the way many contemporary theologians have envisaged this link between divine and human communion is deeply problematic. …”

Postverbal negators in Gallo-Romance: The view from Old Occitan by Paoli, S, Bach, X

“…The data suggest that while the minimizer pas possibly started off as a marker of emphatic negation, becoming also a negator of discourse-old propositions, the generalizer ges followed the inverse path, starting as a negator of a presupposition and gradually moving to be an emphatic negator. …”

World Athletics regulations unfairly affect female athletes with differences in sex development by Bowman-Smart, H, Savulescu, J, O’Connell, M, Sinclair, A

“…We argue the advantage would not be unfair because to say otherwise relies on a presupposition about whether these athletes are female, which involves contradictory and inconsistent definitions of sex. …”

Oh (/o/) als ontvanger van informatie in sociale interactie by Seuren, L

“…Focusing on its use in response to informing turns, I argue that as a free-standing particle speakers use it to claim that the information in that prior turn was in some way unexpected: either because it contradicted what the speaker claimed he or she knew, or because it contradicted some presupposition that was encoded in an earlier question. …”

The linguistics of odour in Semaq Beri and Semelai, two Austroasiatic languages of the Malay Peninsula by Kruspe, N, Majid, A

“…<p>There is a long history presuming smell is not expressible in language, but numerous studies in recent years challenge this presupposition. Large smell lexica have been reported around the world thereby showing high <em>lexical codability</em> in this domain. …”

Antibodies and tuberculosis by Jacobs, A, Mongkolsapaya, J, Screaton, G, McShane, H, Wilkinson, R

“…Although it is established that cell-mediated immunity is necessary for the control of latent infection, the presupposition that such immunity is sufficient for vaccine-induced protection has recently been challenged. …”

Hume's problem, Kant's solution by Busch, K

“…, argues that Kant offered resources for a limited solution to Hume’s ‘problem of induction’, i.e., the demand to rationally justify our presupposition that any object or event resembling those perceived as conjoined with a specific quality is also conjoined with that quality.…”
