I’ve put together a handout summarizing some of the things that we’ve learned about presupposition so far, including the S-family test, various triggers, and presupposition projection.  I realized after today’s lecture that, given the complexity of the sentences that we were investigating today, probably some of you were unable to copy everything done.  So hopefully this handout will give you a chance to consolidate your understandings.
