Conditional Relationships: Philosophical Approach to its Semantic Content
Keywords:
Conditionality, Conditional Relationship, Conditional Meaning, Conditional Structure, Cognitive Reasoning, Indicative Condition, Subjunctive ConditionAbstract
This study explores the philosophical and linguistic dimensions of conditional relationships, focusing on their semantic content and syntactic structures. The objectives are to analyze the classification and interpretation of conditional sentences, investigate their cognitive and pragmatic functions, and evaluate their philosophical implications. A qualitative research approach was adopted, utilizing a comprehensive literature review of linguistic and philosophical texts. The findings reveal that conditional sentences are multifaceted, conveying meanings such as real/unreal, hypothetical/imaginary, and indicative/subjunctive. These classifications are grounded in logical reasoning and pragmatic functions, emphasizing their relevance in cognitive and philosophical contexts. The study concludes that the interpretation of conditional sentences remains complex, necessitating further interdisciplinary inquiry to address unresolved semantic challenges.
