N2  - The project of giving an account of meaning in natural languages goes largely
by assigning truth-conditional content to sentences. I will call the view that sentences
have truth-conditional content propositionalism as it is common to identify
the truth-conditional content of a sentence with the proposition it expresses. This
content plays an important role in our explanations of the speech-acts, attitude ascriptions,
and the meaning of sentences when they appear as parts of longer sentences.
Much work in philosophy of language and linguistics semantics over the last halfcentury
has aimed to characterize the truth-conditional content of different aspects of
language.
