Processing Attenuating NPIs in Indicative and Counterfactual Conditionals [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Both indicative and counterfactual conditionals are known to be licensing contexts for negative polarity items (NPIs). However, a recent theoretical account suggests that the licensing of attenuating NPIs like English all that in the conditional ...

The association of intrauterine and postnatal growth patterns and nutritional status with toddler body composition [PDF]
BMC Pediatrics, 2023 Background Growth patterns may be indicative of underlying changes in body composition. However, few studies have assessed the association of growth and body composition in poorly resourced regions experiencing the double-burden of malnutrition exists ...

Understanding Conditionals in the East: A Replication Study of Politzer et al. (2010) With Easterners [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 The new probabilistic approaches to the natural language conditional imply that there is a parallel relation between indicative conditionals (ICs) “if s then b” and conditional bets (CBs) “I bet $1 that if s then b” in two aspects. First, the probability

Indicative Conditionals and Graded Information
Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2019 The paper proposes a model of indicative conditional by combining features of minimal change semantics and information semantics. The paper analyses in detail the following properties (desiderata) for conditionals: 1. No trivialization 2. Factual modus ponens and modus tollens 3. Import-export 4. No modus ponens for iterated conditionals 5.

Marking the counterfactual: ERP evidence for pragmatic processing of German subjunctives [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Counterfactual conditionals are frequently used in language to express potentially valid reasoning from factually false suppositions. Counterfactuals provide two pieces of information: their literal meaning expresses a suppositional dependency between an

Indicative conditionals: probabilities and relevance [PDF]
Philosophical Studies, 2021 AbstractWe propose a new account of indicative conditionals, giving acceptability and logical closure conditions for them. We start from Adams’ Thesis: the claim that the acceptability of a simple indicative equals the corresponding conditional probability. The Thesis is widely endorsed, but arguably false and refuted by empirical research.

Restriction without Quantification: Embedding and Probability for Indicative Conditionals
Ergo, An Open Access Journal of Philosophy, 2021 Many modern theories of indicative conditionals treat them as restricted epistemic necessity modals. This view, however, faces two problems. First, indicative conditionals do not behave like necessity modals in embedded contexts, e.g., under ‘might’ and ‘

Ergo, An Open Access Journal of Philosophy, 2021 We argue that counterfactuals and indicative conditionals are not so different. Certain notorious differences previously observed between pairs of indicative and counterfactual sentences are actually due to the presence of an anti-abductive modal ...

Indicative Conditionals and Dynamic Epistemic Logic [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2017 Recent ideas about epistemic modals and indicative conditionals in formal semantics have significant overlap with ideas in modal logic and dynamic epistemic logic.

Indicative Conditionals and Epistemic Luminosity [PDF]
Mind, 2021 Abstract Kevin Dorst has recently pointed out an apparently puzzling consequence of denying epistemic luminosity: given some natural-sounding bridging principles between knowledge, credence, and indicative conditionals, the denial of epistemic luminosity licenses the knowledge and assertability of abominable-sounding conditionals of the ...
