Burton-Roberts on Presupposition and Negation.
Seuren, Pieter A. M.
Journal of Linguistics, v26 n2 p425-53 Sep 1990
A critical analysis explores the strictly logical aspects and pragmatic claims of a presupposition and negation theory (Burton-Roberts, 1989). Other clearly relevant facts, not previously considered, are used to show that the theory preempted empirical issues on invalid a priori grounds. (23 references) (Author/CB)
