Аннотация: The paper explores syntax and semantics of nominal counterfactuals, in which the antecedent contains a DP instead of a clause (“if BY not DP”). We address a number of issues related to their internal structure and semantic interpretation, including obligatoriness of negation and its inability to license negative polarity items. We argue that despite the apparent nominal character of the antecedent, its interpretation is not different from that of regular counterfactuals whereby the antecedent provides the restrictor for the universal quantifier in the domain of possible worlds. We propose that the nominal constituent undergoes re-interpretation along the following path. A pronominal element pro adjoins to DP, which takes its reference in the domain of events. This element finds an antecedent event in the standards way regular pronominals do. It is related to the denotation of the DP by an unpronounced thematic relation. This derives a proposition of the form “that there is an event identical to the referent of pro, which || DP || is a participant of”. Since the referent of pro is an eventuality in the evaluation world, the counterfactual only get a coherent interpretation if the antecedent is negated. For the same reason, the antecedent is not an environment where NPIs can be licensed.
