The interaction of irrealis markers and blocking effects in counterfactual conditionals: theoretical implications

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study aims at filling this gap. This study explores these questions in a sample of 51 languages, and additionally discusses whether blocking effects identified for counterfactual conditionals can also be found in other counterfactual constructions, i.e., counterfactual manner constructions, e_g, he talked as if he were sick (but he was not).
