- Abstract
- The aim of this paper is twofold: to identify twotypes of even if concessive conditionals, standing-ifs and introduced-ifs (Bennett1982) in terms of whether the truth of the consequent is ‘entailed’ (theconsequent-entailment problem in terms of Lycan 2001); and to analyze thesetwo types of concessive conditionals in a compositional way. Here we arguethat, following Guerzoni and Lim (2007), even if conditionals can be analyzedas the cases where even gets its focus in conditionals. We also argue that theconsequent-entailment problem can be accounted for in a compositional way ifwe identify the focus as well as the scope of even in conditionals correctly. Wefurther argue that the analysis presented in this paper supports the scope theoryof even, among two theories of even previously proposed in various works.
We also consider the possibility where concessive conditionals without even canbe analyzed as an extension of the analysis proposed in this paper.
