1/30 C2

Explain the pragmatic concept of 'presupposition projection' and its implications for truth-conditional semantics.

Presupposition projection is irrelevant to truth-conditional semantics. Presupposition projection simplifies truth-conditional semantics. Presupposition projection is how presuppositions of embedded clauses are inherited by the larger sentence. This complicates truth-conditional semantics because the truth value of the whole sentence can be affected if its presuppositions are not met. Presupposition projection is a grammatical rule for sentence structure.

Discuss the pragmatic concept of 'indexicality' and its pervasive role in language.

Indexicality is irrelevant to understanding meaning. Indexicality is a grammatical rule for sentence structure. Indexicality means that all words have fixed meanings regardless of context. Indexicality refers to the property of linguistic expressions whose meaning is dependent on the context of utterance (e.g., deictics). It's pervasive because most language use is situated, requiring listeners to constantly infer meaning based on who, what, where, and when.
