Attribution/Variables/Constants/Possible Worlds/Stalnaker/Cresswell: Stalnaker uses a value attribution which is world-dependent. I.e. a term t can be attributed to an individual in a world and a different individual in another possible world.

Variables/Stalnaker: refer to the same thing in all possible worlds.

Variables/constants/Hintikka: also Hintikka treats variables and constants differently: because of his restriction of quantifiers we can talk about the same thing in different possible worlds.
>Cross world identity.
(Camps: LewisVsHintikka).

>That-clause, >That/Cresswell, >Propositional attitudes, >Propositions, >Truth conditions.

More than merely the truth conditions of the complementary sentences are involved in the attribution of propositional attitudes.
