영문 초록

In this paper, I argued a syntactic and semantic parallelism between utterance modifying adverbials and relevance conditionals. I also argued that the conditional meaning(the if-clause) contributes as a conventional implicature in the case of relevance conditionals. And I pointed out two shortcomings in the Siegel's proposal(2006) of Relevance conditionals; First, I noted that the move to potential literal acts is unnecessary, because the consequent of an relevance conditional can, contra Siegel, be taken as a straightforwardly executed speech act. Second, I argued that the analysis does not account for the semantic unembeddability of relevance conditionals. My proposal for the semantics of relevance clauses, which analyses them as conventional implicature items in parallel with the utterance modifying adverbials they resemble, accounts for both of these properties straightforwardly, as Potts(2005) proposed.
