本文的目的是从关联理论的角度对某些“非基本”指示性条件句进行解释。有一种说法（例如Grice 1989）认为自然语言在语义上与逻辑中的实质蕴涵是相同的。这种方法遇到了一些问题，其中之一是，一些自然语言条件句似乎并不涉及所需的真值函数关系的前件和后件。我试图表明，元表征和语用丰富的关联理论的概念（Carston 1988，Wilson和Sperber 1992）允许我们保持的观点，如果是等同于实质含义。
The purpose of this paper is to give a relevance-theoretic account of certain 'non-basic' indicative conditionals. There has been a claim (e.g. Grice 1989) that natural language if is semantically identical with material implication in logic. This approach runs into some problems, one of which is that some natural-language conditionals do not appear to involve the required truth-functional relation between antecedent and consequent. I attempt to show that the relevance-theoretic notions of metarepresentation and pragmatic enrichment (Carston 1988, Wilson and Sperber 1992) allow us to preserve the view that if is equivalent to material implication.
