双宾条件句，如“如果你渴了，冰箱里有啤酒”。 与典型条件句“If it's raining，the firecracks will be cancelled”（如果下雨，烟花将被取消）感觉不同。因为后件似乎是必然的，而不管前件的真/假。Franke（2009）认为饼干条件句中的“后件蕴涵的感觉”是由于前件和后件之间的条件独立性;因此，规范条件句和饼干条件句可以保持统一的语义。一个问题是，是否有可能得出相同的结果蕴涵在动态语义的框架。此外，还有一些饼干条件句，比如“如果我渴了，冰箱里有什么吗？”本文提供了一个动态的和非对称的版本的独立性条件，一个d-独立性条件，正确地推导出后件蕴涵在陈述句和疑问句。
Biscuit conditionals such as ‘If you are thirsty, there’s beer in the fridge.’ are felt different from canonical conditionals ‘If it’s raining, the fireworks will be cancelled.’ in that the consequent seems to be entailed regardless of the truth/falsity of the antecedent. Franke (2009) argues that the “feeling of the consequent entailment” in biscuit conditionals is due to the conditional independence between the antecedent and consequent; thus a uniform semantics for canonical and biscuit conditionals can be maintained. A question arises as to whether it is possible to derive the same consequent entailment in the framework of dynamic semantics. Furthermore, there are some instances of biscuit conditional questions such as ‘If I get thirsty, is there anything in the fridge?’ This paper provides a dynamic and non-symmetric version of the independence condition, a d-independence condition which correctly derives the consequent entailment in both declaratives and interrogatives.
