Resumo: | The existence of meaning in a relation between the antecedent and the consequent terms in a proposition with a conditional operator (such as if… them) seems mandatory in natural language. This relation is not inherently derived from the logic form of the conditional operator, P Q (if P, then Q), nor from its syntax. But we always force a natural relation between the two terms. When we have trouble to establish such relation, we believe we are facing ill-formed sentences in pragmatic terms. Thus, we believe that the interpretation of a conditional operator in natural language, when understood in an interface linguistics x communication, depends on elements that extrapolate formal analysis. The structure of a sentence with a conditional operator is determined by its syntax; the semantics of the proposition guarantees that the conditional triggers a relation inference between P and Q; and, via pragmatics, we can determine, in a situation context, the nature of such relation. |

Essa relação não está inerentemente ligada à forma lógico-semântica do operador, P à Q (se P, então Q), nem à sua sintaxe. Sempre nos esforçamos para interpretar a relação entre antecedente e conseqüente, de alguma forma. Quando a interpretação é difícil, acreditamos estar diante de sentenças pragmaticamente mal formadas. Por isso, acreditamos que a interpretação de um condicional dependa de inferências pragmáticas que o falante pode construir com a ajuda do contexto. A interpretação do condicional, em uma interface lingüística x comunicação, depende de elementos que vão além de uma análise formal. A estrutura de uma sentença condicional é determinada por sua sintaxe; a semântica da proposição garante que o uso do condicional dispare uma inferência de relação entre P e Q; e, em contexto, via pragmática, podemos determinar a natureza dessa inferência.Edunisc2007-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/signo/article/view/3510.17058/signo.v32i52.35Signo; v. 32 n. 52 (2007); 91-981982-2014reponame:Signo (Santa Cruz do Sul.

The existence of meaning in a relation between the antecedent and the consequent terms in a proposition with a conditional operator (such as if… them) seems mandatory in natural language. This relation is not inherently derived from the logic form of the conditional operator, P Q (if P, then Q), nor from its syntax. But we always force a natural relation between the two terms. When we have trouble to establish such relation, we believe we are facing ill-formed sentences in pragmatic terms. Thus, we believe that the interpretation of a conditional operator in natural language, when understood in an interface linguistics x communication, depends on elements that extrapolate formal analysis. The structure of a sentence with a conditional operator is determined by its syntax; the semantics of the proposition guarantees that the conditional triggers a relation inference between P and Q; and, via pragmatics, we can determine, in a situation context, the nature of such relation. |
