This volume brings together some of the most recent developments in
the field of experimental pragmatics, specifically empirical
approaches to theoretical issues in presupposition theory. It
includes studies of the online processing of presupposed content;
investigations of the interpretive properties of presuppositions in
various linguistic contexts; comparative perspectives relative to
other aspects of meaning, such as asserted content and
implicatures; cross-linguistic comparisons of presupposition
triggers; and perspectives from language acquisition. Taken
together, these novel contributions provide a snapshot of
state-of-the art developments in this area and will serve as a
point of reference for numerous emerging avenues of future work. It
makes for an ideal set of readings for advanced university courses
on experimental studies of meaning and is a must-read for anyone
interested in experimental research on meaning in natural language.
