2 Background
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> What is a natural language presupposition? Being implied by a simple natural language sentence and the natural (or preferred) interpretation of its simple negation is the primary quality that qualifies an inference as a presupposition. This evaluation of inferences is called the negation test. Presuppositions are generated from lexical and syntactic contexts.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Those contexts which pass the negation test can be termed presuppositional triggers. The presuppositional trigger that is of concern here is the definition of words. In (1) the truth of the affirmative a-sentence always implies the truth of the c-sentence, and the truth of the negative b-sentence normally implies the truth of the c-sentence.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2">  (1) a. My cousin is a bachelor.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> b. My cousin is not a bachelor.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> c. My cousin is a male adult.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="5">  The natural language presupposition has been a well-studied linguistic phenomenon. Because it has received so much attention, it has naturally been given a variety of definitions. So, before presenting the technical details of our work, it should be clarified that the point of view of Gasdar \[1979\] is assumed. In particular, presuppositions are considered as part of the information conveyed by an utterance (not appropriacy conditions for making an utterance) given that the utterance was made cooperatively in the sense of Grice's maxims of cooperative conversation \[Grice, 1975\]. So, in the case of (lb) the view would be that what is being communicated is that 'the speaker knotvs 1 that my cousin is a married male adult.', not that it is inappropriate to utter the sentence in contexts which don't allow for the truth of 'My cousin is a male adult.'. Although the speaker-hearer view of communication is implicit in Gazdar's approach, we have made it explicit in our communication model. This has been done because we are interested in what information is needed and what forms of inference are required to enable a hearer to infer the correct presuppositions from an utterance.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="6"> Presuppositions have the quality that there are linguistically natural means for indicating that a simple negation is not to be interpreted normally, that is, some form of &amp;quot;presupposition cancellation&amp;quot; is to be performed. (What is meant by the terminology in scare quotes also differs from method to method.) It is this latter problem, how to produce only the correct presuppositions of sentences, that has received most of the attention in the literature. It is called the projection problem. From a lexical point of view, the projection problem can be interpreted as how do the meanings of the lexical items contribute to the meaning of the utterance.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="7"> Examples are given in (2). It is important to note that two methods are used to indicate that the negation is to be interpreted in an unnatural manner. (2a) illustrates 1 See \[Gazdar, 1979\] for a discussion of the motivation for the epistemic qualification of the proposition. Gazdar uses the usual omniscient interpretation of the epistemic operator, Know. This causes some problems which are not important here.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="8">  that one method is to make the normal (presuppositional) inference inconsistent. (2b) indicates a second method. This sentence is actually a disguised form for 'My cousin is a bachelor and not a spinster (case 1) or my cousin is a spinster and not a bachelor (case 2).'. The the speaker cannot commit himself to the natural interpretation of the negations because each of the cases commits the speaker to deny the presuppositions required by the natural interpretation. Details are given in the next section.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="9"> (2) a. My cousin is not a bachelor. He is only three years old.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="10"> b. My cousin is a bachelor or a spinster.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="11"> Note that the sentences in (3) do interpret 'bachelor' in the normal way under normal circumstances.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="12"> (3) a. My cousin is a bachelor or Mary will be unhappy.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="13"> b. If your cousin is a bachelor then he will be able to attend the party.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="14"> 3 Presuppositions and Default Logic  Throughout our work the projection problem has been approached from a knowledge representation point of view. A basic assumption has been that a hearer's interpretation of a natural language utterance should include the inferences that can be generated from three sources: the sentence uttered, knowledge about the world, and knowledge about language use.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="15"> For the purposes of this paper the most important knowledge source is the lexicon. It is here that some of the knowledge about language use is stored (for our purposes the definitions of words). Other linguistic knowledge, such as Grice's maxims, has been placed in the general inference procedure. What information is to be stored in the lexicon and in what form has been the focus of this study into the phenomenon called presupposition. Previously, the standard &amp;quot;solution&amp;quot; to the projection problem has been one of three kinds: a set of rules that take the presuppositions of the clauses and remove the undesirable presuppositions as the sentence meaning is being composed \[Karttunen, 1973, Karttunen, 1974, Karttunen and Peters, 1979, Soames, 1979\]; a set of rules, invoked after the sentence has been fully interpreted, that cancel the unwanted presuppositions from a complete set of potential presuppositions \[Gazdar, 1979\]; or a set of rules that embody both of these methods \[Soames, 1982\].</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="16"> In the work discussed below, we have rejected these solutions and have replaced them with a method that views presupposing as a form of inference. Before giving details of the method, it would be appropriate to point out the philosophical differences between this new method and the previous ones, indicating both the need for default reasoning and the benefits that are obtained.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="17"> Previous methods and the new one agree that the information concerning the presuppositions associated with words is located in the lexicon. Where they differ is what form this information takes. This representation has important ramifications on the kinds of knowledge needed outside the lexicon. More specifically, previous methods put extensional knowledge in the lexicon, that is, the knowledge of a particular lexical item is designated as presuppositional and non-presuppositional (or what has been termed &amp;quot;what is said&amp;quot;). So in the case of 'bachelor', 'unmarried' would be designated as non-presuppositional; 'male' and 'adult', presuppositional. What this precomputing of  presuppositions requires is that knowledge be contained in a projection method which can eradicate the unwanted presuppositions in sentences like (2). \[Karttunen, 1973, Karttunen, 1974\], \[Karttunen and Peters, 1979\], and \[Soames, 1982\] exemplify this distribution of knowledge. \[Gazdar, 1979\] did not have to resort to such a distribution of knowledge, however this method succumbs to other problems. The new method has evolved naturally from Gazdar's ideas but does not succumb to the same problems.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="18"> The new method differs in the following important respect: the information about presuppositions is stored in the lexicon as intensional information, that is, in a pre-computed form. As an utterance is processed to derive its meaning, the intensional information for all of the presuppositional triggers is incorporated into the structure which represents the meaning of the utterance. Later, we will see that an appropriate structure is a default theory. Since the intensional information is then computed in the appropriate context (the structure representing the utterance's meaning), the presuppositional information is correctly generated. By formulating the problem of presupposition generation in this way, the importance of the complete context for the correct generation of an utterance's presuppositions dramatically exposes the pragmatic nature of presuppositions. Hence, the kind of information that is stored in the lexicon and the kind of processing used to connect the information to the structure representing the meaning of the utterance tends to suggest that it should be under the heading of lexical pragmatics rather than lexical semantics.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="19"> This new method can be viewed as a reasonable extension to Carnap's meaning postulates \[Carnap, 1956\]. The meaning postulate is extended to include the intensional information, which can be given a precise meaning. The extensional approach on the other hand cannot be an used to extend the idea of a meaning postulate since the notion of the universality of the meaning postulate is lost.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="20"> Another important repercussion is that the previous methods are ad hoc, that is, they are not based on fundamental principles that have their foundations outside the particular method. On the other hand the default method can actually provide a better understanding of the phenomenon and leads to a definition based on foundations which are not intimately connected to the phenomenon and which are not complicated by operational features.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="21"> Other benefits are obvious. We are dealing with a very large task when we confront the natural language understanding problem. We don't need to compound the difficulty of this task with purported solutions that lead to knowledge needlessly distributed amongst various parts of the solution. The default reasoning method has succeeded in making what seems to be a most natural break, that is, the knowledge associated with the lexical entries is located in the lexicon and the knowledge concerning the basic inference mechanism is located in the inference engine.</Paragraph>

3.1 Details of the Representation
</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph position="0"> The work on presuppositions and default reasoning began with \[Mercer and Reiter, 1982\] reporting on its embryonic stages. Here we looked at representing presuppositions as default rules in Reiter's \[1980\] Default Logic. More recently, we have viewed this method as a natural way to extend Carnap's notion of a meaning postulate. This extension differs from the original in two significant ways. Firstly, we make the change from a one-way material implication in the meaning postulate to a logical equivalence. So, we are not only accepting that the right hand side of (4) are necessary elements of the definition  of 'bachelor', we are also accepting that these are sufficient, as well. Much debate has focussed on this issue. We agree that it is probably impossible to arrive at a necessary and sufficient set of conditions for the definition of a lexical item. However, this is not a theory about the correct definition of lexicai items. Rather, it is an agent-centred method about how an agent uses his knowledge to derive other facts. Hence, we do take as given that at any moment an agent does have necessary and sufficient conditions defining a lexical item. This definition may be subject to change. How an agent discovers that his definition needs modification, and how this is performed is not part of our immediate concern. If (4) were a one-way material implication, the contrapositive of (4) would say that the negation of any of the three right hand side predicates is sufficient to negate 'bachelor'. However, it does not say that the negation of 'bachelor' necessarily requires that the negation of one of the right hand side predicates is the cause. What having necessary and sufficient conditions allows an agent to do is determine that one of the right hand side items in (5) is causing the negation of 'not a bachelor' although it cannot be determined which one.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="1">  (4) Vx.BACHELOR(z) ~ MALE(z) A ADULT(z) A-,MARRIED(z) (5) Vz.-,BACHELOR(x) ~_ ~MALE(x) V ~ADULT(z) V MARRIED(x)  Secondly, we add more information about the lexicai item in question. This extra information concerns the presupposed ~ parts when the lexicai item occurs in the scope of a negation. This extra information takes the form of default rules and implicitly adds a new form of inference, as well. So for example, we add to the representation of 'bachelor' the two default rules (6) and (7).</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="3"> A more detailed discussion of Default Logic is given in the next section. For the present, an interpretation of these two default rules is sufficient. (6) is to interpreted as stating that if the non-bachelorhood of a is provable from the default theory (x will be substituted appropriately throughout the rule with the appropriate constant) and if the linguistic form (that is, the sentence) predicates bachelorhood about a, then if it is consistent in the default theory to infer that x is male then infer that x is male. (7) says the same thing about a and the property of being an adult. Default rules will be used to determine which of the right hand side elements is causing the negation. So, under normal circumstances (6) and (7) will generate MALE(x) and ADULT(a) which together with (5) gives the result that MARRIED(x).</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="4"> 2 Earlier work has called these the noncriterial parts. The one part negated by the preferred interpretation was called the criterial part. This terminology was used because we were concerned with describing the negated and unnegated parts of the preferred interpretation without referring to presuppositions. Since this terminology differs from the use of criterial in \[Cruse, 1986\], say, (each of male, adult, and unmarried would be crlterial), and since it is not so critical here to be so pedantic about the term presupposition, we will use this latter terminology.</Paragraph>

3.2 Details of the Generation Method
</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph position="0"> The study of the method using Default Logic as a replacement for the projection methods is the main theme of \[Mercer, 1987\]. A summary of this work appears in \[Mercer, 1988b\]. An important contribution is the connection made between presuppositions and the context, in particular Gazdar's formalization of Grice's maxims. More precisely, default theories corresponding to a well-defined set of cases which can be derived from the hearer's knowledge base (KBH) and the utterance (represented as G(u) to convey Gazdar's view of the Gricean maxims) generate the appropriate presuppositions for sentences such as those found in (2) and (3). The precise details for computing the set of cases (which can be found in \[Mercer, 1987, Mercer, 1988b\]) are not important for this paper. Instead, some examples will be provided in order that an understanding of how the Default Logic method generates the appropriate presuppositions for a variety of sentences. The default theories that correspond to the cases mentioned above will be given without any explanation. Interested readers are encouraged to seek further explanation in the references given above. More recently, \[Mercer, 1988a, Mercer, 1990\] have solved problems left open in \[Mercer, 1987\], specifically, how negation interacts with sentential adverbs in the context of conditionals, and a generalization of Gazdar's view of clausal implicatures. The default method now captures all of the known problems for any of the previous methods plus the problem of disjunctive presuppositions which none of the previous methods could handle.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="1"> Before embarking on a study of the application of Default Logic to the problem of natural language presuppositions, a brief introduction to Default Logic is in order. The inference rules of classical logic produce safe deductions. Deductions are safe if they are, in some sense, already known. Examples of this type of inference include: deducing that a particular individual has a property from the knowledge that all individuals have that property; deducing the truth of two conjuncts given the truth of the conjunction; and deducing the consequent of a material implication given the truth of the antecedent.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="2"> Default Logic, on the other hand, allows (in a principled manner) the conjecturing of new information in the face of incomplete information. Remembering the discussion surrounding (5), the representation of a negated lexical item does not provide complete information, and since a more complete interpretation of the negated lexical item is required, conjecturing of the extra information is necessary.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="3"> A default rule is a rule of inference as shown in (8), (8) .deg where are all first order formulae whose free variables are among those of ~ = ml,..., ram. Intuitively, a default rule can be interpreted as for all individuals zl,..., zm, if a(~) is believed and if #(~) is consistent with our beliefs, then w(g) may be believed. The a, #i's, and w are referred to as the prerequisite, justifications, and consequent of the default rule, respectively.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="4"> Normal defaults are default rules with the properties n = 1 and/31 (~) = w(~:). Since all the default rules used throughout this paper are normal, discussion is restricted to this class. In addition to this structural property, normal defaults have other important properties which are discussed below. Closed defaults are default rules that contain no free variables in any of the first-order formulae. Open defaults are default rules that are not closed. An open default is meant to represent the set of closed defaults obtained  by replacing all its free variables by ground terms. Default rule schemata are metadefault rules that represent the set of open default rules obtained by replacing all the recta-variables with the appropriate substitution instance (for example, predicates, or formulae). A default theory, A, is composed of a set of first-order formulae W, and a set of default rules, D. The default rules can be viewed as extending the first-order formulae with the consequents of the default rules. An extension, E, of a closed default theory is a constructable fixed point having the properties listed below.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="5">  1. WC_E 2. if E ~- a, then a E E (E is logically closed, that is, Th(E) = E, where Th is a fixed point operator defined by 3. for each default, a(g) : ~(~) E D, if a(g) E E, and -~(i) ~ E, then #(~) E E  Normal default theories always have an extension. Multiple extensions are produced when two defaults conflict. Normal defaults conflict when their consequents cannot simultaneously be in the same extension. These multiple extensions are orthogonal, that is, pairwise, they differ on the truth value of at least one formula. The third point in the definition of E is very important. Limiting the discussion to the effect that this definition has on the application discussed in the remainder of this paper, since the first-order part of the default theory and all its entailments are in E, if a conflict occurs between a default and anything in the logical closure of W the consequent of the default rule is in no extension of A.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="6"> Although Default Logic has a proof theory, it will not be described here. Rather all of the discussion regarding presuppositions will use the definition of extensions just given. We are able to do this since the logic has a kind of soundness and completeness result. That is, the proof theory cannot generate any formulae that is not in some extension, and if a formulae is in an extension, then the proof theory can generate it.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="7"> For purposes of all the following examples, the definition of 'bachelor' is represented by the first order sentence (4). Then the negation of 'bachelor' would be represented by (5). Similarly the definitions for 'spinster', and its negation, are given by (9) and (10), respectively.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="8">  (9) Vx.SPINSTER(x) ~- FEMALE(m) A ADULT(m) A-,MARRIED(x) (10) Vx.~SPINSTER(x) _-- ~FEMALE(x) V -,ADULT(m) V MARRIED(m)  The pragmatic rule for generating presuppositions from all lexical items can be captured as a default rule schema (11), where PRE represents information about the presuppositional features of the negated lexeme. The knowledge of presuppositional features could then be part of the lexicon and could be represented as (12).</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="9">  (11) -uP(x) A iF(P, x) : Px(x) Pl(x) , if PRE(P, P1) is in the lexicon (12) PRE(BACHELOR, MALE)</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="11"> This method is just an economical form of representation. Since (11) is a schema it really represents the set of its instances. These instances can be obtained as needed by appropriately substituting for P and P1 throughout the schema. For the case of 'bachelor' we have already seen the instances as (6) and (7). The instances for 'spinster', are similar. All of the examples below will use the already substituted instances rather than the schema. Before turning to the examples, we first need a more precise definition of presuppositions based on defaults.</Paragraph>

3.2.1 A Definition of Presuppositions
</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph position="0"> In addition to the broad coverage, the default method provides a definition of presupposition not forthcoming from the previous methods. Before giving the definition of presuppositions, we require the prior definition of the consequents of the default theory.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="1"> Definition 1 If D is any set of defaults then</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="3"> For purposes of the next definition, the only defaults in KBH, are the presuppositiongenerating defaults found in the speaker's lexicon.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="4"> Definition 2 Let u be a sentence uttered by a speaker, S, in accordance with Grice's Maxims of Cooperative Conversation. Let KBH be the bearer's knowledge base before the utterance, and let the default theories ~ucasel,... , AUcue n be the first order cases of the theory KBtt U {~(u)}. A sentence c~ is a presupposition of u with respect to KBH if and only if  (i) a is in all extensions of AUca,ei, for i = 1 .... , n, (ii) a is in the deductive closure of CONSEQUENTS{D}) (iii) a is not an entailment of KBH W {G(u)} (iv) oe is not inferable from KBH  In the situation in which 'My cousin is not a bachelor.' has been uttered, and the logical form created maps 'my cousin' onto the constant cl, the representation of the sentence would be that given in (13). However, included in the hearer's lexicon is the information provided by the extended meaning postulate for 'bachelor' represented by (14)-(16). These four items taken together provide the default theory that represents the meaning of this</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="6"> It can easily be seen that all extensions of the default theory consisting of (13)-(16) (there is only one) contains MALE(c1) and ADULT(cl). By the definition given in the previous section, these are the lexical presuppositions of the utterance derived from 'bachelor'.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="7"> 3.2.3 Example 2 -- Negation with Qualification In the situation in which 'My cousin is not a bachelor, because my cousin is just three years old.' has been uttered, and the logical form created maps 'my cousin' onto the constant cl, the representation of the sentence would be that given in (17). Again, included in the heater's lexicon is the information provided by the extended meaning postulate for 'bachelor' represented by (18)-(20). These four items taken together provide the default theory that represents the meaning of this utterance.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="8">  It can be easily seen that all extensions of the default theory consisting of (13)-(16) (there is only one) contains MALE(c1) but does not contain ADULT(c1). The reason is that -~ADULT(cl) is an entailment of this default theory which defeats the justification of the default rule (19) thereby not allowing its consequent into the extension. Hence MALE(c1) is a lexical presupposition of the utterance, but ADULT(c1) is not.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="9"> 3.2.4 Example 3 -- Multiple Cases with No Cancellation In the situation in which 'My cousin is a bachelor or Mary will be unhappy.' has been uttered, and the logical form created maps 'my cousin' onto the constant cl, and 'Mary' onto the constant ml, the representation of the sentence would be that given by the two cases (21) and (22). As stated earlier, the computation of these cases is not given here. However, it should be obvious that these two cases are the two disjuncts of the exclusive or representation of the utterance.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="10">  Together with the lexical information that is available for 'bachelor', which is given in (23)-(26) we obtain MALE(c1) and ADULT(cl) in all extensions of all cases. So, these are presuppositions of the utterance.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="11"> 3.2.5 Example 4 -- Multiple Cases with Cancellation In the situation in which 'My cousin is a bachelor or a spinster.' has been uttered, and the logical form created maps 'my cousin' onto the constant cl, the representation of the sentence would be that given by the two cases (27) and (28).</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="12">  The first case, represented by (27), together with the lexical information represented by (29)-(37) form a default theory which allows MALE(cl) and ADULT(cl) to be derived as entailments. Consequently, no extension of this theory contains FEMALE(cl), the consequent of the default rule (33), since the justification is defeated by MALE(el). ADULT(c1) can also be derived using the default rule (34).</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="13"> Similarly, in the second case, represented by (28), together with the lexical information represented by (29)-(37) form a default theory which allows FEMALE(cl) and ADULT(cl) to be derived as entailments. Since the justification of default rule (29) is defeated by FEMALE(cl), no extension of this theory contains MALE(cl). ADULT(c1) can also be derived using the default rule (30).</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="14"> Since not all extensions contain MALE(cl) and not all contain FEMALE(cl), neither of these formulae are presuppositions of the utterance. Although ADULT(c1) is in all extensions of all the cases it is not a presupposition of the utterance since it is entailed by it.</Paragraph>

3.3 Lexical Pragmatics
</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph position="0"> As mentioned earlier, we consider that this enterprise falls under the heading of lexical pragmatics. Now that a short description of this study of presuppositions has been given, it is appropriate to make more precise what we mean by the term, lexical pragmatics.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="1"> The key difference between semantics and pragmatics has always been the role of context. It is evident from the previous discussion that for natural language presuppositions the role of context is paramount. There are explicit negations which produce different outcomes depending on the (non)existence of further qualifications. Sentences which have exactly the same syntactic structure, 'A or B.', have different presuppositional behaviours depending upon the content of 'A' and 'B'. Although the role of context is fundamental, here we would like to focus instead on the functional units, the default rules, in order to make more direct connections back to the source of these ideas: knowledge representation and default reasoning in Artificial Intelligence.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="2"> Once the semantic meaning of 'bachelor' has been agreed upon, (38) say, this meaning remains unchanged no matter what context it is put in. This property is referred to as monotonicity. Monotonicity requires the behaviour of the inference mechanisms to be localized. All classical inference mechanisms are monotonic. So, for instance, the maleness of a person is always the case given that the person is a bachelor. Consequently, these attributes can be precomputed and associated with the lexical item 'bachelor'.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="4"> On the other hand the meaning of 'not a bachelor' has two components: the semantic component, (39), and the pragmatic component, which is most commonly defined in terms of what is normally the case. Again, the semantic component is unchanging. It states that at least one of the disjuncts is true whenever the person is 'not a bachelor'. On the pragmatic side, our approach is to reject the normal case only if something contradicts it. This non-monotonic form of reasoning is demonstrated by Default Logic. The default rules make explicit what it is that can defeat the generation of the consequence of that rule. These rules are intensional objects whose meanings are made explicit only in context.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="5"> However, these rules can still be attached directly to the lexical item in exactly the same manner as the precomputed semantic components.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="6"> (39) -~MALE(x) V -~ADULT(x) V MARRIED(x) The contextual nature of the presupposition inference as captured by default reasoning indicates that one difference between semantics and pragmatics revolves around the monotonic/non-monotonic character of semantic and pragmatic inferences. This view adds a new dimension to pragmatics. We believe that it is this view that has the most to offer the lexicon.</Paragraph>
