Abstract

The main focus of this study is a pragmatic analysis of presuppositions. It investigates the English instructor of university students at one of Indonesia’s universities. In this qualitative study, the teacher’s statements throughout two sessions of teaching-learning activity served as the source of the data. Data were analyzed by using Yule’s proposed model analysis (1996). The categories are Lexical Presupposition, Structural Presupposition, Counter Factual Presupposition, Factive Presupposition, Non-Factive Presupposition, and Existential Presupposition. The findings show that the English teacher employed a variety of presuppositions. Structural Presupposition and Counter Factual Presupposition are the most frequently used type of presupposition. It could be said that in the English teaching-learning activity, the teacher primarily used WH questions to communicate the material and rarely used whether conditions to explain it to the students. The research also analyzed the utterances’ suggested meanings in addition to categorizing the presuppositions in the teacher's utterances.
