Conditionals and Propositions in Semantics
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...

متن کاملProperties, Propositions and Conditionals
Section 1 discusses properties and propositions, and some of the motivation for an account in which property instantiation and propositional truth behave naively . Section 2 generalizes a standard Kripke construction for naive properties and propositions, in a language with modal operators but no conditionals. Whereas Kripke uses a 3-valued value space, the generalized account allows for a broa...
متن کاملDo Indicative Conditionals Express Propositions?
In this paper I will focus on the question of what theoretical object we should use to represent the meaning of certain sentences. In particular, I will focus on the question of whether we should use propositions to represent the meaning of indicative conditionals. Before getting into this question I’ll try to locate it in the broader scheme of things. In recent years, the so-called semantic/pr...
متن کاملTopological Semantics for Conditionals
In this paper we explore the topological semantics for conditional logic that arises from the Alexandroff equivalence between preorders and topological spaces. This clarifies the relation between the standard order semantics and premise semantics for conditionals. As an application we provide a construction of relative similarity orders between possible worlds from topologies of relevant propos...
