Primes¶
- Deixis
- Stephen Levinson's comprehensive treatment in Pragmatics (1983) and his later handbook chapter (2004) anchored deixis in the architecture of natural-language pragmatics.
This sourceCh. 2 gives a comprehensive treatment of deixis within the architecture of pragmatics.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The publisher abstract lists deixis among the book's central topics in pragmatics, supporting the anchoring clause only - not the mapping of a deictic inventory nor centrality to linguistic meaning.
“This textbook provides a lucid and integrative analysis of the central topics in pragmatics - deixis, implicature, presupposition, speech acts, and conversational structure.”

- Presupposition Smuggling
- The channel-payload binding is what makes it a smuggle rather than an ordinary assertion: both "yes" (I've stopped) and "no" (I haven't stopped) ratify the premise of prior cheating, because the question's grammatical presupposition survives negation — the hallmark of linguistic presupposition.
This sourceTreats linguistic presupposition and its hallmark of survival under negation, and the conversational accommodation of speaker presuppositions.

- Speech Act Theory (Illocution, Perlocution)
- Conversation analysis and dialogue systems: Modern pragmatics (Levinson 1983), conversation analysis (Sacks, Schegloff, Jefferson), and turn-taking theory all ground dialogue in illocutionary acts.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 4 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
