授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
If Mary "stopped" dancing, Mary used to dance. If "Mary's cat" meowed, Mary has a cat. The sentence ``Mary speaks Italian too" presupposes that Mary speaks a language other than Italian. Where do these presuppositions come from? On the other hand, negation is considered to be a "hole" to presuppositions. In ``Mary did not stop dancing," ``not" does not negate that Mary was dancing. We will investigate what is called presupposition projection problem, accommodation and other related topics.
達成目標
/Course Goals
