Résumé
We review the controversy concerning whether the lack of a
clear counterfactual marker in Chinese results in a deficiency in
counterfactual reasoning (Au, 1983, 1984; Bloom, 1981, 1984;
Liu, 1985). We describe a study in which we compared two
kinds of counterfactual assertions. The results showed an
accuracy advantage for English speakers over Chinese speakers
when specific contextual information was required to detect the
counterfactual, but not on other counterfactual sentences.
Implications for language and thought are discussed.
