title = "The existential/uniqueness presupposition of wh-complements projects from the answers",
abstract = "he projection pattern of the existential/uniqueness presupposition of a wh-complement varies depending on the predicate that embeds it. This variation poses problems for existing accounts that treat the presupposition as a seman-tic contribution of an operator merging with the wh-complement (Dayal, 1996) or of the embedding predicate (Uegaki, 2015). I propose that the problems can be solved if the existential/uniqueness presupposition is contributed by the propositions corresponding to the answers of the embedded question, under the Hamblin/Karttunen semantics for questions.",
