\nTitle: Local Contexts: Problems and Extensions
<\/p>\n

\n


\nSince the 1980’s, it has been standard to assume that the presupposition of
\nan expression must be entailed by its local context (Heim 1983). But how is
\na local context derived from the global one? Analyses developed within
\ndynamic semantics offer a lexicalist solution: the meaning of any operator
\nspecifies what its \u0091Context Change Potential\u0092 is. However the explanatory
\ndepth of these solutions has been called into question because they can in
\neffect stipulate in their lexical entries the data to be accounted for. We
\nwill offer a reconstruction of local contexts that circumvents this problem,
\nand can be developed within a classical (non-dynamic) semantics. We will
\nalso discuss problems that recent experimental results raise for our
\nanalysis.<\/P><\/p>\n

A non-technical summary of our reconstruction of local contexts is available

A longer and more technical version is developed in:
