Conditionals: A theory of meaning, pragmatics, and inference.

Abstract: The authors outline a theory of conditionals of the form If A then C and If A then possibly C. The 2 sorts of conditional have separate core meanings that refer to sets of possibilities. Knowledge, pragmatics, and semantics can modulate these meanings. Modulation can add information about temporal and other relations between antecedent and consequent. It can also prevent the construction of possibilities to yield 10 distinct sets of possibilities to which conditionals can refer. The mental representation of a … Show more

“…This second line of reasoning runs from states of affairs to language and consists of reasoning about truth values. The former kind would be psychologically basic, whereas the latter is more complex and difficult, involving some form of metalogic, a meta-ability that requires a grasp of the relations between assertions and the world through the predicates true and false (Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 2002;Moshman, 1990).…”

“…Note-se que o autor se baseia, neste último caso, na investigação dominante, que, como referimos, gira em redor da tarefa de selecção. No entanto, é de assinalar uma excepção, no que respeita a trabalhos mais recentes no âmbito da teoria dos modelos mentais (e.g., Bucciarelli & JohnsonLaird, 2005;Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 2002;Quelhas & Byrne, 2003), que iremos aqui descrever um pouco, dada a importância das condicionais deônticas no presente trabalho.…”

“…Iremos também utilizar frases condicionais que geram diferentes interpretações (condicional e capacitante), independentemente de serem de conteúdo deôntico ou epistémico, e que são explicadas pela teoria dos modelos mentais como resultado da modulação semântica (Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 2002;Quelhas & Johnson-Laird, 2005;Quelhas, Johnson-Laird, & Juhos, 2010). Finalmente, será também avaliado o nível de desenvolvimento moral (na amostra de reclusos e na de não-reclusos), na expectativa de que esta medida possa distinguir os dois grupos em estudo.…”
