Sentence examples for interpreted sentence from inspiring English sources

Both rely on the fact that the unquoted occurrence of φ is an occurrence of an interpreted sentence, which has a truth value, but also provides its truth conditions upon occasions of use.

Likewise, the base clauses of the recursive definition of truth, those for reference and satisfaction, are taken to state the relevant semantic properties of constituents of an interpreted sentence.

On the other hand, it may be less problematic or less controversial to say that rigidity assures that the sentence or statement (interpreted sentence) 'Hesperus = Phosphorus' is necessarily true even though we can find this out only a posteriori (Fitch 2004, pp. 110 13; LaPorte forthcoming; Hughes 2004, pp. 106 7; cf. Kripke 1980, pp. 20 1).

For example we can consider misinterpretations I of a fully interpreted sentence S. A misinterpretation of S that makes it true is known as a nonstandard or unintended model of S. The branch of mathematics called nonstandard analysis is based on nonstandard models of mathematical statements about the real or complex number systems; see Section 4 below.

They are cancellable, they can make use of contextual clues, but they are not 'processes' in any cognitively interesting sense of the term: they don't involve conscious inference, albeit, in Recanati's terminology, they involve inference in the broad sense: the agent is not aware of performing an inference but is aware of the consequences of this pragmatic enrichment of the interpreted sentence.

But it should be stressed that for this discussion, sentences are fully interpreted sentences, having meanings.

We have seen versions of it which take beliefs, propositions, or interpreted sentences to be the primary bearers of truth.

The other possible response to this dilemma is to accept that deflationism applies inter alia to sentences, but to argue that the sentences to which it applies must be interpreted sentences, i.e., sentences which have meaning.

Of course, if the sentences to which deflationism applies are interpreted sentences, then there will be no force to the objection that deflationism is ignoring the fact that sentences have meaning.

In this strict sense only fully interpreted sentences are logical truths (or just truths), and theoretical truths that are asserted peculiarly by logic as a science need not be logical truths.

We thus find the usual candidate truth-bearers linked in a tight circle: interpreted sentences, the propositions they express, the belief speakers might hold towards them, and the acts of assertion they might perform with them are all connected by providing something meaningful.
