This paper revisits some foundational questions concerning the abstractrepresentation of a discourse context. The context of a conversation isrepresented by a body of information that is presumed to be shared by theparticipants in the conversation – the information that the speakerpresupposes a point at which a speech act is interpreted. This notion isdesigned to represent both the information on which context-dependentspeech acts depend, and the situation that speech acts are designed toaffect, and so to be a representation of context that is appropriate forexplaining the interaction of context and the contents expressed in them.After reviewing the motivating ideas and the outlines of the apparatus,the paper responds to a criticism of the framework, and considers the wayit can help to clarify some phenomena concerning pronouns with indefiniteantecedents.
