Abstract

Restricting our attention to existence presuppositions resulting from dcfinite descriptions, we observe that (3) inherits the presupposition that thcre is a king, which \wth of its constituents carry, but does11't inherit the presupposition that thc king has a son, which its right constitucilt carries. The solution I will advocate was in some sense already arrived at by Karttunen (1974), but its full potcntial was not realized ilt the time, perhaps because an appropriately sophisticated view of contexl change and its rclation to truth-conditional meaning was not available then.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
