The simple fact that cancelling a pragmatic inference can yield an infelicity or anomaly is puzzling, since it is widely acknowledged that most pragmatic inferences are felicitously defeasible. A possible explanation is that Gricean conversational principles do not carry the restriction that ....

.... of the LF rc rule to rationale clauses in embedded contexts, illustrated in the above examples, may be generalized to a large set of embedding verbs, in particular factive and non factive verbs (Kiparsky and Kiparsky, 1971) e.g. 100a) and (100b) below) as well as non implicative verbs (Karttunen, 1971) taking a complement whose agent is different from the main clause agent (e.g. 100c) In contrast, non implicative verbs taking a complement whose agent is the same as the main clause agent (e.g. 100d) as well as implicative verbs (e.g. 100e) both interact with the intentionality ....

....sentence S 2 if and only if S 1 j= S 2 and :S 1 j= S 2 . This definition does not survive a logical examination because as Gazdar [ 1979, p. 90 ] has shown, the definition says that presuppositions are always true. Several variations on this definition have been developed using modal logic [ Karttunen, 1971 ] or a heavy parentheses notation [ Katz and Langendoen, 1976 ] A critique of these theories is given by Gazdar [ 1979, pp. 90 103 ] Revivals of semantic theories are observed even later [ Wilson and Sperber, 1979 ] where in order to circumvent the problems an ordered relation on the ....
