Counter-presuppositional mode is used to correct perceived presuppositions which the speaker thinks are erroneous. In English, counter-presuppositional mode is signalled by placing the nucleus on a preposition in a prepositional phrase, on the <em>to<\/em> particle of an infinitive phrase or on some part of the verb phrase, excluding the auxiliary.
