Aim of the workshop:<\/strong>
\nPresuppositions are a major focus of current research in semantics and pragmatics, especially so under the traditional broad understanding of presupposition encompassing all types of content that can project from the scope of semantic operators. Much recent work on presupposition has shown how experimental results can shed light on current theoretical debates (e.g. Chemla, 2009; Chemla & Schenker; Schwartz & Tiemann, 2016; Domaneschi et al., 2014). Nevertheless many old theoretical debates and empirical problems remain still open.
\nThe goal of this workshop is to provide an overview of the state of the art in Experimental Pragmatics on the theoretical and experimental approaches to presuppositions. The ideal contribution is one that advances presuppositions on the basis of experimental data, but also contributions on the experimental methodology for testing presuppositions and those making novel theoretical proposals are welcome.<\/p>\n
