Meggle I 438
Counterfactual conditional/speech act/conversational implicature/Walker: the speaker takes the trouble to express a certain counterfactual conditional and not another - hence the wrong antecedent is not idle.
>Contrafactual conditionals, >Presuppositions, >Antecedents.
Meggle I 439
"Even if"/Walker: "even if p, q" - Mackie: proposes instead "And equally, p > q".
Conversational implicature: in a context where casually ~ p > q can be assumed, a statement of "And equally, p > q" should suggest that this is (~ p > q), with which "p > q" should be connected.
Meggle I 445
Conversational implicature: no matter what circumstances are present, we find: "~ (p > q)" significantly less clear than "p u ~ q".
Meggle I 471
Conversational implicature/Walker: Conversational implicatures can harden into metaphors and thus make classes superfluous.
>Metaphors.
