Conditionals and inferential connections: A hypothetical inferential theory

Intuition suggests that for a conditional to be evaluated as true, there must be some kind of connection between its component clauses. In this paper, we formulate and test a new psychological theory to account for this intuition. We combined previous semantic and psychological theorizing to propose that the key to the intuition is a relevance-driven, satisficing-bounded inferential connection ...

Inferential Conditionals and Evidentiality

Many conditionals seem to convey the existence of a link between their antecedent and consequent. We draw on a recently proposed typology of conditionals to argue for an old philosophical idea according towhich the link is inferential in nature. We show that the proposal has explanatory force by presenting empirical results on the evidential meaning of certain English and Dutch modal expressions.

Topological Semantics for Conditionals

In this paper we explore the topological semantics for conditional logic that arises from the Alexandroff equivalence between preorders and topological spaces. This clarifies the relation between the standard order semantics and premise semantics for conditionals. As an application we provide a construction of relative similarity orders between possible worlds from topologies of relevant propos...

Toward a New Axiomatic for Hyper-Connections

We propose an evolution of the hyper-connection axiomatic in order to improve the consistency of hyper-connected filters and to simplify their design. Our idea relies on the principle that the decomposition of an image into h-components must be necessary and sufficient. We propose a set of three equivalent axioms to achieve this goal. We show that an existing h-connection already fulfills these...

Conditionals and Propositions in Semantics

The project of giving an account of meaning in natural languages goes largely by assigning truth-conditional content to sentences. I will call the view that sentences have truth-conditional content propositionalism as it is common to identify the truth-conditional content of a sentence with the proposition it expresses. This content plays an important role in our explanations of the speech-acts...
