Abstract

En 中文
This review article presents the current state of research on counterfactual expressions and contexts. It focuses on the relationship between formal semantic and typological approaches. This leads to a special emphasis on counterfactual expressions outside of conditional clauses and the role of counterfactual expressions in modal meanings such as weak necessity.
Keywords:
counterfactuality
mood
typology
semantics
irrealis
weak necessity
