Tonhauser（2016）研究了韵律中介语用学与事实预设投射之间的相互作用。我们复制Tonhauser的发现，韵律确实对事实性预设投射有影响（对嵌入小句中的材料的强调降低了投射的强度）。然而，我们发现这种差异远小于事实谓词和非事实谓词之间的差异。我们还发现，重音的位置也会影响非事实从句的投射判断。我们概述了一个假设的一般语用机制，从韵律推导出非断言推理，并讨论了该机制如何与事实预设的投影相互作用。
This paper reports a follow-up to Tonhauser (2016) investigating the interaction between prosodically-mediated pragmatics and factive presupposition projection. We replicate Tonhauser’s finding that prosody does have an impact on factive presupposition projection (stress on material in the embedded clause decrease the strength of projection). However, we found that this difference was substantially smaller than the difference between factive and non-factive predicates. We also found that stress placement impacted projection judgments for non-factive clauses as well. We outline a hypothesis for a general pragmatic mechanism for deriving non-assertive inferences from prosody and discuss how that mechanism interacts with the projection of factive presuppositions.
