It has been generally assumed that asymmetric extraction is allowed when the conjuncts can be perceived as expressing a “unitary” event, which renders asymmetric conjunctions systematically immune to Ross’ CSC and the ATB requirement. Yet, the range of semantic relations between the events in asymmetric conjunction is apparently so diverse as to defy a unified semantic account. This paper provides a unique characterization of the event unity along the line of Jo’s (1993, 2007) analysis of serialization: the diverse meaning dependencies (i.e., a causal relation, a causally-involved relation, or a figure-ground relation) that give rise to the perception of unity of the coordinated events are all analyzed as instances of underlyingly the same relation, namely counterfactual dependency. The counterfactual dependency can be safely taken to represent the sense of “inseparable connection” between events that are perceived as forming a complex unitary event.
