Abstract
Dynamic semantics has its roots in the research on anaphoric reference. It is well known that in general anaphoric relations are highly context sensitive and defeasible. However, most standard frameworks of dynamic semantics, such as Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) and Dynamic Predicate Logic, do not deal with problems of interpretation revision (cf. [6]). Furthermore, these frameworks are strictly incremental in the sense that any old information is more entrenched than any new information.
The theory of segmented DRSs (Discourse Representation Structures) proposed by Asher deals with structures of DRSs, but he uses the framework for describing discourse structures and not for analyzing interpretation revision (cf. [2]).
