Presupposition and the Delimitation of S

Klappentext This book argues that previous work on presupposition has been mistakenly based on a conflation of semantics and pragmatics. Zusammenfassung In this book! first published in 1975! Dr Kempson argues that previous work on presupposition has been mistakenly based on a conflation of two different disciplines: semantics! the study of the meanings assigned to the formal system which constitutes a language! and pragmatics! the study of the use of that system in communication.
