 Abusch’s soft/hard distinction suggests that degrees of cancellability are intrinsic properties of the triggers themselves, and those that buy into this theory must motivate why that is. For Abusch, hard presuppositions are strictly semantic, whereas soft presuppositions arise from alternative sets generated in the context. Romoli (2011, 2014) takes this a step further by arguing that presuppositions from soft triggers aren’t presuppositions at all, but rather entailments or scalar implicatures. In contrast, Abrusán (2011a, 2011b, 2016) argues that the difference between soft and hard triggers emerges from how both types interact with the context, for example with regard to their focus sensitivity.
