Good morning everyone, Welcome to our presentation.
First, let’s introduce my group. There are 3 three people
Today I am here to present to you about Chapter 4: presupposition and Entailment
I’ve divided my presentation into three parts. Trúc start with…
Let's go on with the next one which is the Lexical Presupposition
The use of one form with its asserted meaning is conventionally interpreted with the presupposition that another (non-asserted) meaning is understood. This can be seen in the following example: You make a mistake again Presupposed that She made a mistake before. - Mary stopped running Pr: Mary used to run Next, the use of the structure with treats information as presupposed and is accepted as true by the listener is for example "wh" question. This kind of presupposition is called Structural Presupposition. When we ask Why did you buy the car? We presuppose that the information after the question is necessarily true so die. Moreover, a non-factive presupposition is assumed not to be a true verb like dreams, imagine, and pretend indentify a non-factive presupposition. An example is that she dreamed that she was rich. but Pr: She was not rich. The last type of presupposition is called counterfactual presupposition which means what is presupposed is contrary to facts. for example If Trung had a sister, she could help him to do housework. however at the time of utterance, this is not true, trung doesn't have a sister. But what projection problem? Ms. Thu will help you answer in the next section
