Multiple agendas? A corpus-based analysis of if-conditionals in medical research editorials

Résumé

Our approach is a bottom-up one. We begin by examining the verb forms employed in the if P, Q conditionals, comparing the use made of the canonical verb sequences and identifying the preferred verbal combinations. We then focus on a number of variations observed in the basic if P, Q constructional pattern, involving the addition of specific lexemes or specific punctuation: [If P, then Q], [Q only if P], [if P, Q?], [even if P, Q] /[ Q even if P].
