... of indicative conditionals. For instance, ‘If the die lands even, it will land two’ seems to be interpreted differently when it appears on its own than when it appears in the conditional ‘If the die lands prime, then if the die lands even, it will land two’. Again, this kind of sensitivity of the interpretation...

... for a fragment including epistemic modals and indicative conditionals. On this approach, the fragment has standard truth-conditions: epistemic modals quantify over contextually accessible worlds; a conditional says that its consequent is true at the closest world where its antecedent is true. But, in addition...
