ABSTRACT

So far, we have kept our basic stock of connectives the same, but expanded our stock of ‘cases’. We have so far ignored any possible structure within our atomic sentences. As a result, there was nothing much to say about how an atomic comes to be true (or whathaveyou) in a given case. Instead, we merely said that each atomic gets exactly one of the given semantic values (true, false, whathaveyou). In this chapter we change things. We look ‘inside’ of atomics, bringing out a little bit of structure. In turn, we will say a little bit about how atomics come to be true, false or whathaveyou in a given case.
