TL;DR: In this paper, the presupposition triggered by an expression E is generally satisfied by information that comes before rather than after E in the sentence or discourse, which can be overcome at some cost.
Abstract: The presupposition triggered by an expression E is generally satisfied by information that comes before rather than after E in the sentence or discourse. In Heim’s classic theory (1983), this left-right asymmetry is encoded in the lexical semantics of dynamic connectives and operators. But several recent analyses offer a more nuanced approach, in which presupposition satisfaction has two separate components: a general principle (which varies from theory to theory) specifies under what conditions a presupposition triggered by an expression E is satisfied; and an ‘incremental’ component specifies that the principle must be checked on the basis of information that comes before E. Several researchers take this incremental component to be a processing bias, which can be overcome at some cost. If so, it should be possible, though costly, to satisfy presuppositions ‘symmetrically’, i.e. by taking into account linguistic material that comes both before and after the presupposition trigger. We test this claim with experimental means. Using inferential (and to some extent acceptability) tasks involving the anaphoric trigger aussi (‘too’) in French, we argue that symmetric readings are indeed possible (albeit degraded) in environments involving the connectives if, or, and unless.

TL;DR: The authors examines the distribution and interpretation of the bare classifier phrase [Cl+N] in three Sinitic languages of Mandarin, Wu and Cantonese and shows that [Cl + N] can be interpreted as definite or indefinite depending on pragmatic factors related to information structure and word order.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of recent developments of the literature on adverse selection and moral hazard in agency problems is presented, where both aspects coexist and both agents are income risk-neutral.

TL;DR: This paper examines whether adults can adapt to novel accents of their native language that contain unfamiliar context-dependent phonological alternations, and explores the mechanism underlying this type of phonological learning.
