2 Literature Review
2.1 Studies on Pragmatic Presupposition
Presupposition was originally a philosophical and logic topic proposed by a famous German philosopher Frege in 1892. Then, an English linguistician Strawson developed this concept. He pointed out that any word can infer a presupposition. From this point, presupposition be a topic of pragmatics.
Usually, there two basic types of presupposition: semantic presupposition and pragmatic presupposition. The latter is the most popular one. Stalnaker(1970) firstly promoted the concept of pragmatic presupposition. Pragmatic presupposition, refers to ‘those presupposition connections related to language environment and the belief, attitude and intention of the speaker.’ (He Ziran, 1997) Jackenodoff (1983) considered the pragmatic presupposition as the background and knowledge shared by speakers. Fillmore(1969) defined pragmatic presupposition as the necessary conditions needed by conversation. Yule’s opinion(1996) is that presupposition is a concept depending on speakers, which means a serious imagination before speaking. Although different linguists have different views on pragmatic presupposition, the same point is that the presupposition is closely connected with the speaker. 食品广告语中的语用预设研究:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_19017.html
