PHIL 1200 Chapter Notes - Chapter 10: Sentence Clause Structure, Truth Function, Stoicism
Document Summary
Stoic logic begins with the precise definitions of all key ideas. A self-complete sayable is a meaning that can be expressed in a complete sentence. 5 types of sentences: questions, commands, exclamations, performatives, declarative (only one capable of expressing something that is true or false) A compound sentence is any sentence that contains one or more sentences and one or more sentence operators. A sentence within a compound sentence is called an embedded sentence, or a component sentence. A simple sentence is any sentence that is not compound. A sentence operator is a word or phrase that forms a compound sentence out of one more sentences. An operator that joins two sentences into a compound is called a dyadic or two-place operator. An operator that operates on just one sentence to form a compound is called a monadic or one-place operator.
