Description de l’éditeur
ABSTRACT This paper reports on an investigation of the pragmatic factors influencing the position of if-clauses in conditional sentences. More than (900) nine hundred instances, extracted from such sources as novels, textbooks, and spontaneous speech were examined for this purpose. Topic continuity, parrallelism, qualification, as well as a number of other factors were found to be determining principles of if-clause position.
