Assertive Force Assertive force: potential of an assertion for changing inferences in which an assertion appears. This is not primarily about truth. See also speech act theory, speech acts, force.

Assertive Force Brandom I 142
Force/Brandom: assertive force is important because the word "true" is not important, but the assertive force with which the sentence is pronounced - difference: whether one refers to an object, or says something about it, i.e. states a fact. >Facts, >Judgments.
I 142
Assertive force instead of the word "true" - reason: assertive force has inferential power - derivation scheme, not substantive fact - force: pragmatic significance.

Assertive Force Geach I 262
Assertive force/assertoric force/Geach: assertive force is demonstrated by the fact that a sentence is not included in a longer one. Cf. >Brandom: free-standing content.
The assertion stroke adds no idea - so it should not be confudes with "it’s true that .."; ("true"can occur even in a not assertive sentence without changing its meaning).
>Truth value, >Truth predicate, >Redundancy theory, >Assertion stroke.
Error: to infer from this that "exist" adds no concept. (GeachVsHume).
>Existence predicate.
The sssertion stroke is a indefinable basic concept, cannot be explained.
VsAttribution-theory: the predicate "poor" has no more claiming force than any other predicate, namely, none.
>Predicates/Geach, >Predication/Geach.

Frege, G. Davidson Vs Frege, G. Dummett I 180/181
According to Davidson everything Frege referred to as "force", can be attributed to the non-language sector. It is sufficient to know the truth conditions of the utterance. Cf. >assertive force, >theory of force, >truth conditions.
