Indicative versus subjunctive conditionals, congruential versus non-hyperintensional contexts

I do not know how tall you are; I doubt that you starved as a child. My empirical evidence tells strongly against (1), by indicating that childhood malnutrition tends to reduce adult height. In contrast, (2) is logically trivial. How things actually are includes your actual height, whether or not it also includes your childhood starvation; how things would have been if you had starved as a chil...

Some Remarks on Indicative Conditionals

Deriving Some Properties of Protasis-Referring Conditionals

In §1, I will show that the protasis-referring reading has a number of unusual properties which are not present under other readings of the conditional. In §2, I will present the classic type of analysis for these conditionals, what I term the MOVEMENT ANALYSES. Under these analyses, the if -clause is at some point an argument of the verb. I will show that movement analyses do not adequately ac...

The influence of verbal mood in exceptive conditional reasoning: indicative versus subjunctive.

BACKGROUND We report the results of two experiments that examine the mental representations underlying the comprehension and reasoning stages of negative exceptive conditionals requiring the subjunctive ('B a menos que A' and 'B a no ser que A' = 'B unless A') and the indicative mood ('B excepto si A' and 'B salvo si A' = 'B except if A'). METHOD A truth table task was employed to infer the m...
