An accommodation-based theory of supplements
The content of supplements (e.g., appositive relative clauses; Potts, 2005) has traditionally been regarded as independent of at-issue content, due to their apparently scopeless behavior. However, this multidimensional view of supplements has been questioned by evidence for "interdimensional" anaphoric dependencies, namely, binding into and out of supplements. Moreover, these anaphora-related behaviors of supplements pattern with those of presuppositions, calling for a unified account of how supplements and presuppositions interact with at-issue content. Against this backdrop, this talk puts forward the idea that the semantic behavior of supplements is driven by the same mechanism as presupposition accommodation. After motivating this idea empirically, I present a formal account within Dependent Type Semantics, a type-theoretical framework that handles anaphora and presuppositions with underspecified semantic representations. Specifically, I demonstrate how this framework allows supplements and presuppositions to enter into scopal relations with quantifiers, thereby uniformly accounting for their anaphoric interactions with at-issue content.
