M.J. Cresswell on Utterances - Dictionary of Arguments
I 98 Utterance/Cresswell: (unlike sentence): carries its semantics with itself. >Utterance meaning, >Speaker meaning, >Speaker intention, >Expressions, >Situations, >Context, >Externalism. Utterance: means in a given situation what it is. That is, that we cannot do the same for expressions what we have done for synonymy classes of sentences: we cannot imagine a class of predictions that has a class of meanings in one interpretation and another in another interpretation. >Paratactic analysis, >Sentences, >Propositions. New: now classes of utterances are the sentence meanings. - then we will have, for example, ""the earth moves" Galilei said this" in any language._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
