Indicative conditionals and graded information (Q777951)

The paper proposes a model of indicative conditional by combining features of minimal change semantics and information semantics. The paper analyses in detail the following properties (desiderata) for conditionals: 1. No trivialization 2. Factual modus ponens and modus tollens 3. Import-export 4. No modus ponens for iterated conditionals 5. No modus tollens for modal consequents 6. Cautious or-to-if 7. If-might interaction The paper also analyses at the light of these properties, the behaviour of minimal change semantics, and flat information semantics. After that, defined the account of graded information sSemantics, a generalization of flat information semantics that validates Properties 1--7.
