On Monday, I gave a talk on tense in conditionals at Cornell, as a guest lecture in a seminar on tense and time taught there jointly by Dorit Abusch and Zoltan Szabo. This is a new topic for me and I didn’t pretend to have any original thoughts, just trying to lay out some of the questions and some lines of thinking about them that appeal to me. Eventually, this will presumably be a chapter in my book about the semantics and pragmatics of conditionals. A handout and also an MP3 audio file are available online.
