The paper compares two solutions to the presupposition projection problem: the File Change Semantics, as proposed by Heim (1982, 1983), and the proposal raised by Geurts (1999) within the framework of Discourse Representation Theory, elaborated by Kamp & Reyle (1993). In Heim, presupposition projection is explained via satisfaction theory, whereas Geurts understands it as a case of anaphora. The aim is to show that the two analyses of presupposition projection are not equivalent, against the literature (Chierchia (1995) and Kadmon (2001), among others) which claims that FCS and DRT are not formal variants, and that the binding theory is a better explanation for presupposition.
