- This long-form output of c.80,000 words is the result of sustained research effort of approximately six years in total. It brings together scholarship from philosophy, linguistics and psychology to address long-standing debates on the topic of conditionals in language, proposing a new cognitive concept of conditionality with cross-linguistic universality. This theoretical proposal is informed by extensive empirical investigation, presenting a detailed qualitative analysis and novel categorisation of conditionals found in the Great British International Corpus of English. It situates this alongside conceptual analysis of diverse linguistic conditional structures across languages, ensuring theoretical debates accord with empirical reality.
