Contrast as denial in multi-dimensional semantics
Journal of Pragmatics 41:1707-26 (2009)
| Abstract | We argue that contrastive statements have the same underlying semantics and affect the context in the same way as denials. We substantiate this claim by giving a unified account of the two phenomena that treats contrast as a subtype of denial. This analysis crucially requires a dynamic semantics view of context-dependence with a multi-dimensional representation of information. | |||||||||
