| Truth-functions: truth-functions map truth-values onto other truth-values. In two-valued logic, the two available truth values are "true" or "false" (t/f). The disjunction (A or B) now maps (t or t), (t or f) and (f or t) onto t, and (f or f) onto f. Non-truth-functional semantics differ from truth-functional semantics in that they also take other meanings of the logical links ("and", "or", "if then") into account, for example, expressions such as "nevertheless," "though," "still", whose propositional content corresponds to the "and", but which bring a certain additional expressive force into play. See also truth-functional semantics, truth-conditional semantics, semantics, propositional content._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Jan Lukasiewicz on Truth Functions - Dictionary of Arguments
Berka I 142 Truth Functions/Statement Calculus/Bivalence/Functor/Lukasiewicz: in a bivalent system only four different functions can be formed with one argument - namely, if φ forms a functor with one argument, then the following cases can occur: (1) φ0 = 0 and φ1 = 0 ( "Fp" falsum, wrong) (2) φ0 = 0 and φ1 = 1 (φp is equivalent to p) (3) φ0 = 1 and φ1 0 = : (Negation) (4) φ0 = 1 and φ1 = 1: "Vp" (verum, true). Possibility/N.B.: the "Mp" must be identical to one of these four cases. >Functors, >Functions, >Truth values. Problem: each of the theses (1), (2), and (18) now excludes certain cases.(1) (1) CNMpNp (2) CNpNMp. (18) N∏pNKMpMNp >Possibility, >Necessity. 1. J.
