Stop presupposing the computation of presupposition: the case of the French adjective \'seul\'.

Résumé

The main purpose of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of what is required to handle the problem of the computation (in the sense of (Kamp 2000)) of presupposition. We try to define a computation framework capable of dealing with complex semantic structures, especially when compositionality seems to be problematicaly involved. We concentrate in this paper on some uses of the French adjective \'seul\' (only). We try to provide an acurate description of the behaviour of this item, and then present a representation to account for this behaviour. At last, we tackle the problem of compositionally computing such a representation.
