An analysis of a corpus of naturally-occuring data reveals that verb phrase preposing serves two functions in discourse: to affirm a speaker's belief in salient proposition explicitly evoked in the prior discourse, or to suspend a speaker's belief in such a proposition. Various types of VP preposing are identified, based on the type of discourse connective that introduces the preposing and on the epistemic status, relative to the speaker, of the affirmed or suspended proposition.The felicity conditions on VP preposing are shown to be related to those of other OSV constructions in that (1) a particular anaphoric relation must obtain between the preposed element and the preceding discourse, and (2) the preposing must effect the instantiation of a salient open proposition presupposed in the discourse.*
