Abductive, Causal, and Counterfactual Conditionals Under Incomplete Probabilistic Knowledge
We study abductive, causal, and non-causal conditionals in indicative and counterfactual formulations using probabilistic truth table tasks under incomplete probabilistic knowledge (N = 80). We frame the task as a probability-logical inference problem. The most frequently observed response type across all conditions was a class of conditional event interpretations of conditionals; it was follow...
متن کاملChinese 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. That is, one cannot say things like "a cat ...
متن کاملConditionals 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.
متن کاملDisquotation, Conditionals, and the Liar
In this paper I respond to Jacquette’s criticisms, in (Jacquette, 2008), of my (Barker, 2008). In so doing, I argue that the Liar paradox is in fact a problem about the disquotational schema, and that nothing in Jacquette’s paper undermines this diagnosis.
متن کاملTroubles at the Semantics/Syntax Interface: Some thoughts about the modal approach to conditionals∗
Topic of the present paper is the modal approach to conditionals. We will distinguish two versions of the modal approach: a weak version which is the one that has been introduced by Kratzer (Kratzer [1977, 1979, 1981]) and a strong version that is the way the modal approach is presently used in many approaches to conditionals. In the second part of the paper we will present some arguments again...
