本文提供了一个条件问句的分析，结合了条件句的动态语义和问句的分区语义。我们建议，条件问句的解释分为两个步骤。首先，创造一个暂时的语境，在这个语境中，先行词的命题内容被获得。第二，后件中的问题是相对于这个暂时的语境提出的。随后，相对于临时上下文断言后续答案。我们的分析也有务实的成分。先前的分析已经增加了语义来解释对条件问句先行词的否定。我们证明了否定条件问句的先行词的效果不是由于问句的语义。相反，否定先行词否定了条件句的前提，根本没有直接解决问题
This paper provides an analysis of conditional questions that combines a dynamic semantics for conditionals with a partition semantics for questions. We propose that conditional questions are interpreted in two steps. First, a temporary context is created in which the propositional content of the antecedent obtains. Second, the question in the consequent is asked relative to this temporary context. Subsequent answers are then asserted relative to the temporary context. Our analysis also has a pragmatic component. Previous analyses have augmented the semantics to account for denials of the antecedents of conditional questions. We show that the effect of denying the antecedent of a conditional question is not due to the semantics of the question. Instead, denials of the antecedent deny the presuppositions of the conditional, and do not directly address the question at all
