García-Carpintero, Manuel2018-07-242019-06-152018-06-150165-0106https://hdl.handle.net/2445/123860In this paper I provide a new account of linguistic presuppositions, on which they are ancillary speech acts defined by constitutive norms. After providing an initial intuitive characterization of the phenomenon, I present a normative speech act account of presupposition in parallel with Williamson's analogous account of assertion. I explain how it deals well with the problem of informative presuppositions, and how it relates to accounts for the Triggering and Projection Problems for presuppositions. I conclude with a brief discussion of the consequences of the proposal for the adequacy of Williamson's account of assertion.47 p.application/pdfeng(c) Springer Verlag, 2018Filosofia del llenguatgeActes de parla (Lingüística)Semàntica (Filosofia)Pressuposició (Lògica)Philosophy of languageSpeech acts (Linguistics)Semantics (Philosophy)Presupposition (Logic)info:eu-repo/semantics/article6812242018-07-24info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
