The possibility of suspending presuppositions of a sentence shows that presupposition has lobe undarstobd as an inference in an incompletely perceived world. Hence constructing a theory of natural language reasonings as presup. position calls for one\" Incorporating non-monotonic reasonings, From such considerations we choose Situation Semantics (henceforth SS) developed by Barwise and Perry (1983) as a basis of our theory. In SS the meaning of a sentence is represented as a relation between the situations in which the sentence is uttered and the situations described by such utterances.

The Inappropriateness of such a theory is discussed in BarwJse and Perry (1983) , Akama (1986) in detail. From a computational point of view, especially many of its deficiencies can be stated, To say the least possible-world semantics seems to fail to deal with partial information in an effective way, And in theories in this tradition only restricted statements can be derived from its model that is, accessibility relations affect logical structures in the model.
