This paper is a response to Enguehard (Natural Language Semantics 29(4):527–578, 2021), who observes that presuppositions project in the same way from coordinations of declaratives and coordinations of polar questions, but existing mechanisms of projection from declaratives (e.g. Schlenker in Theoretical Linguistics 34(3):157–212, 2008, Semantics and Pragmatics 2:1–78, 2009) fail to scale to questions. His solution involves specifying a trivalent inquisitive semantics for (coordinations of) questions that bakes the various asymmetries of presupposition projection into the lexical entry of conjunction/disjunction. However, we argue that such a move faces both theoretical and empirical issues. Instead, we show that the data can be handled without moving to such an asymmetric inquisitive denotation, by adapting the novel pragmatic theory of Limited Symmetry (Kalomoiros in Proceedings of the 52nd annual meeting of the North East linguistic society, GLSA, Amherst, 2022) to an inquisitive framework in a way that leaves the underlying semantics for conjunction symmetric and bivalent, while deriving the projection data.

本文是对 Enguehard (Natural Language Semantics 29(4):527–578, 2021) 的回应，他观察到预设从陈述性的协调和极性问题的协调以相同的方式投射，但现有的从陈述性投射的机制（例如 Schlenker in Theoretical Linguistics 34(3):157–212, 2008, Semantics and Pragmatics 2:1–78, 2009）无法扩展到问题。他的解决方案涉及为问题（的协调）指定三价好奇语义，将预设投影的各种不对称性烘焙到合取/析取的词汇条目中。然而，我们认为这一举措面临着理论和实证问题。相反，我们表明，通过采用新颖的实用理论，可以在不转向这种不对称好奇的表示的情况下处理数据有限对称（东北语言学会第 52 届年会记录中的 Kalomoiros，GLSA，阿默斯特，2022 年）采用一种好奇的框架，在推导投影数据的同时，留下连词对称和二价的基本语义。
