Statement: once a statement is made the utterer is committed to it. In contrast to this, a sentence can be thought of as a string of symbols that is no statement. See also Assertions, Sentences, Utterances, Judgments.

Peter F. Strawson on Statements - Dictionary of Arguments

Meggle I 300
According to Hungerland
Presupposition/Strawson: Definition "S requires S": The truth of S is a necessary condition of the truth or falsity of the claim that S.
E.g. "All my children are fast asleep" presupposes "I have children."
David RyninVsStrawson: from this interpretation follows, paradoxically, that all prerequisite statements were true: it should be: S>S" and ~ S>S"; but it is also true that Sv~S. It follows: S".
In other words: (~ S"> ~ (Sv ~ S))> S is analytically true in a system of divalent propositional logic.

Horwich I 186
Statement/Strawson: ambiguous:
a) Saying, speech act
b) the said, the content what is true or false - the plot is not true or false.
AustinVsStrawson: s are the speech acts themselves which are w/f - or truth is attributed to speech acts.(1)
>Speech acts

Strawson I 193
Statement/Strawson: more comprehensive than assertion.
I 205
Statement/Strawson: the binding part of the sentence is the sign of saying "Socrates is ..."
If this "is" is seen as autonomous, then no difference between A and B anymore.
>"Is", >Copula, >Identity.
II 246/47
Statement/Strawson: double meaning:
a) what I say,
b) my saying.
It is about truth, regardless of whether the utterance was made.
>Utterance/Strawson.
StrawsonVsSpeech Act Theory: truth is not to be attributed to the event.
