This paper gives an account of my research design and methods of data collection. My study of Presupposition is predicated on the assumption that discourse contains a deposit of meaning which compels certain perspectives in interpretation. Language functions to partition readers/hearers into epistemic communities some of whom are within the group with others outside it. My research is attempting a cross cultural study between students from the University of Edinburgh and the University of Ghana. I have been running reading experiments in Ghana and Edinburgh collecting concurrent protocols from participants and holding retrospective interviews. I hope the data from these sessions will be useful in giving an account of how readers? cultural backgrounds influence their comprehension of narrative texts.
