Imperatives in conditional conjunction ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides evidence for an ambiguity of bare VPs in the English conditional conjunction construction. This ambiguity, undetected by previous researchers, provides a key to the development of a compositional semantic analysis of conditional conjunction with imperative first conjuncts. The analysis combines existing semantic theories of imperatives, the future tense, modal subordination, and speech act conjunction to yield the correct semantics without further stipulation.

Restricting and Embedding Imperatives
We use imperatives to refute a näıve analysis of update potentials (force-operators attaching to sentences), arguing for a dynamic analysis of imperative force as restrictable, directed, and embeddable. We propose a dynamic, non-modal analysis of conditional imperatives, as a counterpoint to static, modal analyses (e.g., Schwager [16]). Our analysis retains Kratzer’s [8] analysis of if-clauses ...
متن کاملOne More Step and You’ll get Pseudo-Imperatives Right
Abstract We consider pseudo-imperatives like Come near (and) I’ll show you, which have a conditional interpretation (‘if you come near, I’ll show you’). We show that they have basically the same semantics as Sufficiency Modal Constructions studied by von Fintel and Iatridou (2007). We provide a detailed analysis of ‘sufficiency’ in Lewis’s counterfactual framework, extending the analysis to pse...
متن کاملA Unified Analysis of Conditional Imperatives
The main goal of this paper is to develop a unified semantic analysis of CIs, one which adequately captures their similarities to (unconditional) imperatives on the one hand and (unimperative) conditionals, on the other. Both of those latter phenomena have been explored extensively and, differences over theoretical framework and formal implementation notwithstanding, are comparatively well-unde...
متن کاملConditionals and the Dual of Presupposition
A proposal concerning the status of the semantic relation between the consequent clause of a conditional sentence and the conditional sentence itself is made: this relation corresponds to the dual of presupposition, in the technical sense. It holds not only for conditional declaratives but also for conditional questions, imperatives and exclamatives. Technically this is possible because conditi...
متن کاملLogic and Semantics for Imperatives
In this paper I will develop a view about the semantics of imperatives, which I term Modal Noncognitivism, on which imperatives might be said to have truth conditions (dispositionally, anyway), but on which it does not make sense to see them as expressing propositions (hence does not make sense to ascribe to them truth or falsity). This view stands against “Cognitivist” accounts of the semantic...
