Theories have been proposed linking such asymmetries to general processing considerations, predicting similar asymmetries to be observable across sentential connectives.  We address an apparent counter-example \u0096 disjunction \u0096 which in the classic examples in the literature appears projectively symmetric.  We argue that the classic examples are confounded, and show (i) that once the confound is resolved, disjunction is projectively asymmetric, and (ii) that even with the confound in place, there are experimentally observable traces of asymmetry consistent with a processing-based approach.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Aron Hirsch Date\/Time: Thursday 10 October, 5 pm Location: 32-D831 Title: Incremental presupposition projection in disjunction Abstract: Presupposition projection in conjunction shows left-to-right asymmetries, sensitive to the linear order of the conjuncts.
