Actuality and fake tense in conditionals
Semantics and Pragmatics, 2015 Sabine Iatridou (2000) and Katrin Schulz (2014) defend accounts of the past tense in subjunctive conditionals according to which the past tense has a modal reading that excludes the world of utterance or some set of epistemically possible worlds. I argue

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

Marking the counterfactual: ERP evidence for pragmatic processing of German subjunctives
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

On the semantics and pragmatics of epistemic vocabulary
Semantics and Pragmatics, 2015 This paper motivates and develops a novel semantics for several epistemic expressions, including possibility and necessity modals and indicative conditionals. The semantics I defend constitutes an alternative to standard truth conditional theories, as it
