The theoretical linguistic distinction between assertion and presupposition was empirically tested with two groups of sub- jects-young children acquiring English as their first language and adults acquiring English as a second language. The distinction was tested via measurement of the frequency of perceptual errors as a function of differences between asserted information and pre- supposed information in cleft and pseudo-cleft sentence patterns. Subjects heard a cleft or pseudo-cleft sentence prior to pre- sentation of a slide picture in which the asserted or presupposed noun phrase was misrepresented. The task was to decide if the sentence correctly described the picture. Results indicated that, for both groups of subjects, significantly more errors occurred when, the misrepresentation involved the presupposed noun phrase than when it involved the asserted noun phrase.
