Presupposition and Anaphora: Remarks on the Formulation of the Projection ProblemSaul A. KripkePhilosophy Department, City University of New York, Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10016. skripke@gc.cuny.edu
Writers on presupposition, and on the “projection problem” of determining the presuppositions of compound sentences from their component clauses, traditionally assign presuppositions to each clause in isolation. I argue that many presuppositional elements are anaphoric to previous discourse or contextual elements. In compound sentences, these can be other clauses of the sentence. We thus need a theory of presuppositional anaphora, analogous to the corresponding pronominal theory.
