Propositions are sentences?[edit]

Please see the ongoing discussion of this topic at Proposition. BrideOfKripkenstein (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this part of article is wrong an has no citations in support therefore deleting— Philogos (talk) 00:39, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"A proposition is a sentence expressing something true or false[edit]"

I deleted this on grounds of no citation. Rick has reverted providing citation but citation says "statement" not "sentence", look :-

"A statement of something to be discussed, proved, or explained." The New Merriam-Webster Dictionary,

and these are not synonymous!:

Refer to statement proposition sentence truth-bearer — Philogos (talk) 19:19, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Updated to "statement" accordingly--— Philogos (talk) 21:00, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting Purported, Purport, Purports from Meaning to here[edit]

A detailed explanation of this change can be found here. Tlhslobus (talk) 07:31, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As a result I've a;so added a section on Purported, Purports to this article. Tlhslobus (talk) 07:33, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a redirect page, it should contain just enough information for the reader to move on to the page they are looking for.[edit]

I was attracted to this page most recently by the claim that a proposition is not a statement. In mathematics and in ordinary English a proposition is a statement. For the various ways "proposition" is used in philosophy, this page should direct the reader to the proper page, with at most a very brief explanation.

To be propositioned[edit]

I haven't been able to find this other meaning of the word Proposition: the offer/request for sex from by someone you are not in a relationship with. Did I miss something? --Judithcomm (talk) 00:50, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
