Abstract
This contribution investigates the pragmatic functions of implicit communication conveyed through presuppositions triggered by additive focus adverbs. Taking an empirical and qualitative approach, we describe how Italian anche, French aussi and English too are used, in particular to shape the opinion of the addressee in texts related to the “me too” social movement published in traditional and social media. Through three case studies, we show that there are important differences in the way these adverbs are used across the media analyzed and explain these differences by considering the general function of the texts analyzed. The outcomes of our study are relevant from both a methodological and theoretical perspective as well.
