On Conditionals provides the first major cross-disciplinary account
of conditional (if-then) constructions. Conditional sentences
directly reflect the language user's ability to reason about
alternatives, uncertainties, and unrealised contingencies. An
understanding of the conceptual and behavioural organisation
involved in the construction and interpretation of these kinds of
sentences therefore provides fundamental insights into the
inferential strategies and the cognitive and linguistic processes
of human beings. The present volume brings together studies from
several perspectives - philosophical, linguistic and psychological
- and aims to emphasise the intrinsic connections between the
issues to be addressed and to point to new directions for
interdisciplinary work.
