Resumen<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Reflexive Belief Construction in Spanish, built by adjoining the reflexive pronoun \u00abse\u00bb to the verb \u00abcreer\u00bb (believe), displays a puzzling interpretive behavior. When unembedded, \u00abcreerse\u00bb triggers the inference that its complement clause is false. When embedded under negation, it triggers the inference that its complement clause is true. We first argue that the negative inference in the unembedded case is not due to the Maximize Presupposition! principle (Heim 1991), carving out the empirical profile of \u00abcreerse\u00bb along the way. We then explore two alternative explanations. The first is that \u00abcreerse\u00bb presupposes the falsity of its complement. The second is that \u00abcreerse\u00bb presupposes that the attitude holder is wrongly opinionated with respect to the embedded proposition. We argue that the first analysis fails unless it is supplemented with the syntactic account of neg-raising (Collins and Postal 2014), whereas the second analysis faces empirical challenges. We leave the resolution of this dilemma to future work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
