Abstract:
Adequate understanding of a text is determined by a number of subjective factors like for instance intratextual information which may contain double messages in a single form. It means that a sentence embodies information both stated and implied. To analyze the latter the notion of presupposition is introduced.
Keywords: text presupposition, text semantics, pragmatic presupposition
