                Many theories of presupposition have been postulated.  Most implicitly
             assume that presuppositions are facts, and that all agents involved in
             discourse share knowledge of them.  We argue that these are unrealistic
             assumptions and propose a new view which considers presuppositions to be
             beliefs associated with particular agents.  We then develop a definition of
             presupposition which embodies this view.  We conclude that a model of
             presupposition which incorporates agents' beliefs, in addition to being more
             correct, is able to account for presuppositional phenomena which could not be
             accounted for otherwise.</p>},
