Abstract :
Presupposition is one of the linguistic topics that has been considered by linguists for the interpretation and analysis of spoken and written texts. The present study also interprets and analyzes spoken and written texts in children's cognitive world based on presuppositions in Kurdish language with the aim of determining to what extent presuppositions are used in children's cognitive world. For this purpose, for data collection, 500 of spoken texts that were recorded from children in different situations during a week and also 537 sentences of written texts that were selected from children's storybooks were analyzed and investigated. Findings showed that the subject of Presuppositions has many applications in children's cognitive world and children use different types of presuppositions when communicating, but the main difference between the use of presuppositions in children's everyday conversation and children's story books was the order of their use based on frequency because children have followed the pattern (Existential> Factive> Counterfactual> Non-factive> lexical> Structural) in their daily conversation in the use of presuppositions, but in the children's storybook the degree use of presuppositions based on a pattern was (existential> Factive> lexical> Counterfactual> structural> Non-factive). In short, the existence of presuppositions is very useful in text analysis that is, the speaker and the writer share their assumptions and presumptions with the audience in order to form a clear connection.
