ABSTRACT
Frege (1892a, 1892b, 1918) and Russell (1903) took propositions to be structured entities with a structure that mirrors the sentences that express them, at least in an ideal language. Moreover, they took propositions to be the primary bearers of truth. When we say of a sentence, utterance or belief that it is true, then this is to be understood derivatively. A sentence is true in virtue of expressing a proposition that bears a truth-value. Propositions have their truth-values in virtue of representing the world to be a certain way. If they represent correctly, they are true; otherwise, they are false. Other entities, such as beliefs and judgments, represent only in virtue of being related to propositions with inherent intentional properties.
