  • Neutrality

    Dan Beaver, David Beaver et al.ARTICLEPhilosophical Topics2021

    Neutrality functions as an ideal in deliberation—we are supposed to have a neutral standpoint in debate, speak without bias or taking sides. We argue against the ideal of neutrality. We sketch how a theory of meaning could avoid commitment even to the coherence of a neutral space of discourse for exchanging reasons. In a model that accepts the ideal of neutrality, what makes propaganda exceptional is its non-neutrality. However, a critique of pro…

  • Negation and Presupposition

    Dan Beaver, David Beaver et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Negation2020

    Over a century of scholarship on presupposition has worked towards reconciling two seemingly contrary properties of these types of inferences: the ability to project through embedding like negation, and the ability to be cancelled explicitly. Describing these properties has been key to not only diagnosing presuppositions, but also differentiating them from other types of inferences like implicatures and entailment and understanding how a theory o…

  • The Best Question

    Open AccessMandy Simons, Dan Beaver et al.ARTICLEDiscourse Processes2017Citada por: 8Referencias: 23

    This article deals with projection in factive sentences. The article first challenges standard assumptions by presenting a series of detailed observations about the interpretations of factive sentences in context, showing that what implication projects, if any, is quite variable and that projection is tightly constrained by prosodic and contextual information about the alternatives under consideration. The article then proposes an account which a…

  • Toward a Taxonomy of Projective Content

    Open AccessJudith Tonhauser, Dan Beaver et al.ARTICLELanguage2013Citada por: 47Referencias: 10

    Projective contents, which include presuppositional inferences and Potts's (2005) conventional implicatures, are contents that may project when a construction is embedded, as standardly identified by the FAMILY-OF-SENTENCES diagnostic (e.g. Chierchia & McConnell-Ginet 1990). This article establishes distinctions among projective contents on the basis of a series of diagnostics, including a variant of the family-of-sentences diagnostic, that can b…

  • What projects and why

    Open AccessMandy Simons, Judith Tonhauser et al.ARTICLEProceedings from Semantics and…2010

    Projection is widely used as a diagnostic for presupposition, but many expression types yield projection even though they do not have standard properties of presupposition, for example appositives, expressives, and honorifics (Potts 2005). While it is possible to analyze projection piecemeal, clearly a unitary explanation is to be preferred. Yet we show that standard explanations of projective behavior (common ground based theories, anaphoric the…

  • Semantics and Pragmatics - A New Journal

    Open AccessDan Beaver, David Beaver et al.ARTICLESemantics and Pragmatics2007

    We introduce the principles behind the launch of a new journal in semantics and pragmatics and outline the journal's processes and policies. S&P is a peer-reviewed open access journal. The main content is high quality, original, self-contained research articles on the semantics and pragmatics of natural languages. While our target audience is primarily academic linguists, we expect to also publish material by, or of relevance to, philosophers, ps…

  • When Semantics Meets Phonetics

    Open AccessDavid I Beaver, Dan Beaver et al.ARTICLELanguage2007Citada por: 12

    A second-occurrence (SO) focus is the semantic focus of a focus-sensitive operator (e.g. only), but is a repeat of anearlier focused occurrence. We report onthe first systematic productionan d perception experiments to show that SO foci occurring after a nuclear accent are, as Rooth (1996b) has claimed, prosodically marked. We find that (i) there is no mean pitch rise on SO foci, (ii) SO foci are marked by longer duration and greater energy, and …
