II 54
Definition content: be the meaning of the that-clause - it is about contents in this book - different objects (sentences) can have the same content.
>Content, >Sentences, >Propositions, >Propositional content.
II 89
That-clause/intension/Cresswell: the intension of the that-clause is not always equal to the intension of the complement clause - (the clause following the "that").
>Intensions, >Propositions.
Iterated propositional attitude: Problem: occurs when the most outside "that" operates on the sense (structure) of the complement clause - analogously: the plus sign would then contain itself as one of its arguments.
II 159
Propositional attitude/attribution/that-clause/truth conditions/content/Cresswell: thesis: the truth conditions of clauses with propositional attitudes are determined by the contents of the that-clauses - that is the only thing I want.
>Truth conditions.
II 160
More than just the truth conditions of the complement clauses are involved in the attribution of propositional attitudes.
>Attribution.
II 172
Naked infinitive/Cresswell: behaves quite differently from the that-clause - E.g.
a) Fred saw Betty coming in
b) Fred saw Betty coming in and he saw Sally smoking or not smoking
Barwise/Perry: one cannot go from a) to b) Cresswell dito.
Naked infinitives have no proposition as a semantic value but a situation type.
>Semantic value.
Event/Cresswell: there are no disjunctive events.
Negation of event/negative event: also not possible: - E.g. "Fred saw Betty not smoking".
Events/Cresswell: are only used because some expressions do not behave as whole sentences.
>Sentence meaning, >Subsententials.
