Existence/Strawson/Hungerland: existence does not follow from speech, it is presupposed in the speech. - If there is no reference, a statement is neither true nor false.
>Nonexistence, >Truth value, >Truth value gap.

Strawson VII 96ff
Existence / Russell / Strawson: only if a sentence really has subject-predicate form, the existence is guaranteed - therefore only logical proper names such as "the" are real names: existence is guaranteed by acquaintance.
>Logical proper name, >Acquaintance.
VII 102
StrawsonVsRussell: only complete sentences can be true or false.
It is pointless to say "the present King" was needed "as the expression" to make a false statement.
A sentence always remains the same.
>Sentence/Strawson, cf. >Subsententials.
Statement and assertion: change over time.
Cf. >"The present King of France".
