「預設」(presupposition)指講話者在對話之前即已經擁有的立場、觀念、想法。

由語詞本身即可透露預設的涵義，稱為「語義預設」(semantic presupposition)，
例如：another(再、另)、again(再、又)、also(也)、too(也)、once(曾經)、more(多些)。

另外，除了語詞的預設外，若因社會文化或語言的前後文而衍生的預設則稱為「語用預設」(pragmatic presupposition)。

(B) presupposition 前設

In the branch of linguistics known as pragmatics, a presupposition (or PSP) is an implicit assumption about the world or background belief relating to an utterance whose truth is taken for granted in discourse. Examples of presuppositions include:

• Jane no longer writes fiction.
  • Presupposition: Jane once wrote fiction.
• Have you stopped eating meat?
  • Presupposition: you had once eaten meat.
• Have you talked to Hans?
  • Presupposition: Hans exists.
