Description: How are implicatures and presuppositions generated? How are the presuppositions and implicatures of basic sentences transmitted to more complex sentences? Can a unified theory be given for implicatures and for presuppositions? The aim of this workshop, organized as part of an exchange between the MIT Linguistics Department and the Department of Cognitive Studies of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, is to promote new contributions on these questions, and more specifically on the debate concerning the grammatical vs pragmatic nature of the mechanisms of generation and projection of implicatures and presuppositions.
