Example: in John believes that Mary took the car to the repair shop, Mary took the car to the repair shop is a proposition; it has a truth value in the context of John's beliefs. A pragmatic assertion expresses a proposition that is taken to be true in the speaker's beliefs. (Sections 11.1, 18.2.2) |
