This paper investigates the processing and accommodation of the presuppositions triggered bywieder(‘again’). We conducted a word by word self-paced reading experiment where we presented sentences containingwiederin a context which furnished the relevant presupposition and one which did not. We then additionally asked questions to determine whether people accommodate the presupposition ofwiederwhen it is not explicitly given in the context. The results show that effects due to a missing presupposition arise very early during reading and that there is no accommodation of the presupposition introduced bywieder. On the basis of this, we introduce the interpretation principleminimize accommodationand discuss what implications this brings about for other presupposition triggers. Another interesting result is a late increase in reading times in the condition which verifies the presupposition. We argue that this is due to the referential nature ofwieder.
