Presupposition & VP-ellipsis
Johan Bos · 1994
We discuss a treatment of VP-ellipsis resolution in DRT in general, and particularly cases where the source clause of the elliptical VP contains presupposition triggers.We propose to restrain VP-elfipsis resolution by presupposition neutralization.We view presupposition as a kind of anaphora, with the ability to accommodate an antecedent if not provided by discourse.
