 Some followers of Adams have tried to show that when a sentence with a conditional subsentence is intelligible, it can be paraphrased, at least in context, by a sentence without a conditional subsentence. For instance, they read “It’s not the case that if \(A, B\)” as “If \(A\), it’s not the case that \(B\)”, and “If \(A\), then if \(B, C\)” as “If \(A \amp B, C\)”. They also point out that some constructions are rarer, and harder to understand, and more peculiar, than would be expected if conditionals had truth conditions and embedded in a standard way. See Appiah (1985, pp. 205–10), Gibbard (1981, pp. 234–8), Edgington (1995, pp. 280–4), Woods (1997, pp. 58–68 and 120–4); see also Jackson (1987, pp. 127–37). (Note that the Lewis-Kratzer strategy (§4.3) also involves paraphrase, so that conditional propositions are not embedded in adverbs and operators.) But it would be better to have a systematic solution to this problem, and there have several attempts.
