The analysis delves into English conditional sentences, categorizing them based on time-reference and modality. Dancygier explores the relationship between the fundamental meanings of conditionality and the formal linguistic structures that convey these meanings. While centered on English, the research offers a framework applicable to various grammatical phenomena across multiple languages, making it a valuable resource for linguists interested in comparative grammar.
