Abstract

The epistemic verb to believe does not embed polar questions, unlike the verb to know. After reviewing this phenomenon, I propose an explanation which connects the neg-raising behavior of belief with its embedding patterns (following [14]). I use dynamic epistemic logic to model the presuppositions and the effects associated with belief assertions.
