Document Summary

A proposition consists of a subject and a predicate. If two words are synonyms, the resulting sentences make the same proposition (meaning). If the words are different, the sentences make different statements. 3. 1b metaphors: a metaphor is a particular figure of speech in which one thing is equated to another in order to bring out somepoint of similarity. To determine whether two sentences assert the same proposition: use techniques of classifications and definition to identify the concepts the words express. Ignore differences in connotation: find a literal interpretation of all metaphors. Grammar awareness: two different grammatical structure can be equivalent, just as two words can be synonymous, a single sentence can assert more than a single proposition, a sentence does not always assert every proposition that it expresses. 3. 2d noun clauses: the (cid:374)ou(cid:374) (cid:272)lause does(cid:374)(cid:859)t (cid:373)odify a(cid:374)ythi(cid:374)g, (cid:374)either the su(cid:271)je(cid:272)t (cid:374)or the predi(cid:272)ate i(cid:374) the (cid:373)ai(cid:374) clause, noun clause is the subject or the predicate of a clause.
