A semantic definition of proposition in terms of truth and falsity

Paul Gochet

pp. 45-59

Résumé

In De Interpretatione Aristotle states a necessary condition for the application of the word "proposition". He writes: "We call propositions those only that have truth or falsity in them. A prayer is, for instance, a sentence but neither has truth nor has falsity".1
