2. Uwe Hauck, Roles of Presuppositions ?

I am working on a preliminary project dealing with the use of resources
and technniques based upon songs in a efl classroom, aiming the acquisition
of functions of a foreign language. Has anybody seen anything about it
(mostly bib references) or has anyone previously worked with that?
I am asking that for we do not have access here in Brazil to bib data
banks as easily as abroad... I truly appreciate any comments or
suggestions. Thanks in advance.
PS. Please write directly to my e-mail address. Further on I will post
a summary on the list about the replies.

I am working on my Graduate exam in Computational Linguistics and
Artificial Intelligence in the moment. The paper will discuss the role
of Presuppositions in Natural Language Generation. I am searching for
information (Literature, People, Books) on Presuppositions and their
role in NL-Communication, expecially in relation with Belief-Revision
, Knowledge Representation, and Dialog Focus.
Any comment will be welcome.
Thanx
