    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 11: Presupposition is a collection of papers presented at a conference held at the University of Kansas in April, 1977. The book contains 16 papers dealing with presupposition, contributed by linguists, philosophers, mathematicians, and computer scientists. The first paper proposes formal criteria for distinguishing among various distinct phenomena indiscriminately called "presupposition" in recent literature. The paper also provides excellent and authoritative background information. A set of papers attempts to differentiate diverse phenomena lumped together under the cover term "presupposition" and to supply some sort of strategy for justifying the classification of each of these phenomena. The text closes with a paper that elucidates context and contextual domain. The parallel he drawn between the two is especially fruitful in that it is able to resolve the problem of discourse reference on independently justified grounds. Linguists and language experts will find the book very interesting.
