How to use "Presupposition" in context?
In semantics, a presupposition is an assumption made about the meanings of words or clauses before their use in a sentence. Presuppositions can be implicit (unspoken) or explicit. Explicit presuppositions are explicitly stated by the speaker or writer, while implicit presuppositions are present in the structure of a sentence but are not explicitly stated.
Presuppositions are important for communication because they guide listeners and readers in how to interpret a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I am eating an apple," the presupposition is that the speaker is eat an apple.
