Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Presupposition is greatly researched in the field of linguistics. Combined with logic, semantic presupposition studies truth value of a sentence. Pragmatic presupposition studies the presupposition which relates to the belief, attitude and purpose of the speaker. It usually relates to speaker, utterance, proposition and context. The relationship between semantic presupposition and pragmatic presupposition is controversial. In my opinion, it is a pragmatic phenomenon. Pragmatic presupposition includes semantic presupposition.
