This book offers a new and in-depth analysis of English conditional
sentences. In a wide-ranging discussion, Dancygier classifies
conditional constructions according to time-reference and modality.
She shows how the basic meaning parameters of conditionality
correlate to formal parameters of the linguistic constructions
which are used to express them. Dancygier suggests that the
function of prediction is central to the definition of
conditionality, and that conditional sentences display certain
formal features which correlate to aspects of interpretation.
Although the analysis is based primarily on English, it provides a
theoretical framework that can be extended cross-linguistically to
a broad range of grammatical phenomena. It will be essential
reading for scholars and students concerned with the role of
conditionals in English and many other languages.
