Abstract
Where ‘P if Q’ seems to mean ‘P if and only if Q’, a lexical analysis could say that ‘if’ has the special lexical meaning ‘if and only if’, while a pragmatic analysis could say that ‘if’ simply expresses a sufficient condition, but that the description of sufficient conditions is presumed to be exhaustive. Only the latter analysis gives an account of the possible restrictive interpretation of certain sentences of the type ‘P if Q and if R’.
