Making Counterfactual Assumptions
This paper provides an update semantics for counterfactual conditionals. It does so by giving a dynamic twist to the ‘Premise Semantics’ for counterfactuals developed in Veltman (1976) and Kratzer (1981). It also offers an alternative solution to the problems with naive Premise Semantics discussed by Angelika Kratzer in ‘Lumps of Thought’ (Kratzer, 1989). Such an alternative is called for given the triviality results presented in Kanazawa et al. …

Changez le contexte
J. Groejnendijk, M. Stokhof, F. Veltman, Université d'Amsterdam : « Changez le contexte ! » The paper advocates a move from the traditional logical-philosophical concept of meaning as a pictorial relation between language and the world, towards a dynamic view which ties the notion of meaning directly to the process of interpretation of discourse. Dynamics is shown at work in an analysis of certain anaphoric relations in terms of contextually rest…
