Book Synopsis Presupposition and Implicature in Compositional Semantics by : U. Sauerland
Book excerpt: All humans can interpret sentences of their native language quickly and without effort. Working from the perspective of generative grammar, the contributors to this volume investigate three mental mechanisms, widely assumed to underlie this ability: compositional semantics, implicature computation and presupposition computation.
