Turner, Raymond (1981) A constructive theory of counterfactuality and other modalities.
Full text access: Open
We develop a theory of counterfactuality and other modalities which provides an explanation of how speakers may be able to decide (in other than the completely trivial cases) as to whether a particular counterfactual or modal sentence is true or false. We provide an explication of the ability which native speakers have to evaluate particular counterfactuals or modal sentences in given situations of use.
