The notion of presupposition and its triggers have been studied by many scholars,
linguists and philosophers, but as far as the researcher knows, the investigation of
presupposition triggers in journalistic texts has not been explored yet. Therefore, the
present research tries to identify the main presupposition triggers used in English
journalistic texts. It is hypothesized that there are many presupposition triggers in
English journalistic texts. The steps to be followed in this study are exploring the
concept of presupposition, investigating the semantic and pragmatic presupposition,
and identifying the presupposition triggers used in the English journalistic texts
according to a model proposed by the researcher based on Karttunen (n.d.), cited in
Levinson 1983:181-184, and Yule 1996: 28.
The study is designed to the presupposition triggers of six randomly selected
English journalistic texts. These texts have been sampled from six different national
and regional English newspapers representing a range of political and regional
differences.
It was Aristotle who first drew attention to the superior quality of literature to the other factual fields of knowledge. Contradicting his predecessor Plato on the issue of „truth,‟ Aristotle believed that „poetry is more philosophical and deserves more serious attention than history: for while poetry concerns itself with universal truths, history considers only particular facts.‟ (1) The critical attention to the disparity between the literary truth and the historical truth grew up throughout ages to flourish in the Renaissance and after with a bunch of distinctive views on this subject. Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586), for example, found that literature does not offer a literal description of reality but rather a heightened vers

It is well known that the Bayesian estimation is hardly used as a parameter estimation technique due to some difficulties to finding a prior distribution.

In this paper , two method which deal with finding the optimal value for adaptive smoothing constant, are compared .This constant is used in adaptive Single Exponential Smoothing (ASES).
The comparing is between a method uses time domain and another uses frequency domain when the data contain outlier value for autoregressive model of order one AR(1) , or Markov Model, when the time series are stationary and non stationary with deferent samples .
