                yǐwéi: Exceptional Postsupposition #

                yǐwéi "be under the impression" has a POSTSUPPOSITION (output-context constraint) that ¬p is compatible with the Common Ground after the utterance. This is NOT a presupposition and cannot be derived from veridicality alone.

                The postsupposition is interpreted in the Theory layer (ContrafactiveGap.lean). Here we just flag the exceptional behavior.

                以为 "yǐwéi" — be under the impression that (weak contrafactive).

                Exceptional: Has postsupposition ◇¬p (CG compatible with ¬p after utterance). This cannot be derived from veridicality; see @cite{glass-2025}.

                Instances For

                  Does this verb have an exceptional postsupposition (not derivable from veridicality)?

                  This is a theory-neutral flag. The actual CGRequirement interpretation happens in the Bridge layer (ContrafactiveGap.lean).
