Distinguishing semantics, pragmatics, and reasoning in the theory of conditionals

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract / Description of output

Khoo's theory of conditionals, while convincing in many respects, tries to make the semantics do a number of things that really belong either in the pragmatics of conditionals or in the way that people use conditionals in reasoning. By attending to these non-semantic aspects of conditionals, we may be able to capture much of what makes Khoo's theory attractive in a much more streamlined way.
