Effects of what is expected on the focusing properties of quantifiers: A test of the presupposition-denial account
Article Abstract:
Experiments that test the Presupposition-Denial account of complement set reference is reported which is supposed to arise when the focus is on the difference between the amount conveyed by a natural language quantifier and a large presupposed amount. The shortfall, which is the difference between the amounts conveyed and the proposed amount, is the key mechanism in the presupposition denial account.
