Abstract

This article focuses on 'therefore' constructions such as 'The switch is on, and therefore the lights are on'. We submit that the contribution of 'therefore' is to express a dependence as part of the core content of these constructions, rather than being conveyed by conventional implicature or a triggered presupposition. We argue that the standard objections to this view can be answered by relying on a general hypothesis about projection, leaving our view on solid ground.
