Lifting conditionals to inquisitive semantics. Ciardelli, I. In Moroney, M., Little, C., Collard, J., & Burgdorf, D., editors, Semantics and Linguistic Theory (SALT) 26, Ithaca, NY, 2016.

Paper doi abstract bibtex This paper describes how any theory which assigns propositions to conditional sentences can be lifted to the setting of inquisitive semantics, where antecedents and consequents may be associated with multiple propositions. We show that the lifted account improves on the original account in two ways: first, it leads to a better analysis of disjunctive antecedents, which are treated as introducing multiple assumptions; second, it extends the original account to cover two further classes of conditional constructions, namely, unconditionals and conditional questions.
