Disjunctive antecedent conditionals

The Syntax and Semantics of Implicit Conditionals: Filling In the Antecedent

Conditionals and Pseudo-Conditionals in Mathematical Texts

Conditionals are the basic ingredient of a mathematical argument. We present an analysis of conditionals and pseudo-conditional in mathematical discourse, and then propose a computational framework for the (re-)construction and semantic representation of conditional dependencies.

Chinese Conditionals and the Theory of Conditionals*

As is well known, in conditionals and, more generally, in structures involving adverbs of quantification, indefinite NPs like a cat display a variable quantificational force. Within DRT this phenomenon is analyzed by assimilating indefinites to variables. Unlike other variable-like elements, however, indefinites cannot be anaphoric to some thing else.

Chimerical conditionals

This paper introduces and analyzes chimerical conditionals, a class of conditionals that are ambiguous between so called ‘biscuit’ and hypothetical conditional readings. First, an analysis of the biscuit / hypothetical distinction is developed which draws on the pragmatic account of Franke (2009) and pins the distinction on the presence of a special kind of pragmatic presupposition, where what ...
