Description: To say that propositions are structured is to say that they are complex entities, entities having parts or constituents. By Jeffrey C. King.
Structured Propositions (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Mon Sep 22, 1997; substantive revision Fri Aug 12, 2011 It is a truism that two speakers can say the same thing by uttering different sentences, whether in the same or different languages. For example, when a German speaker utters the sentence ‘Schnee ist weiss’ and an English speaker utters the sentence ‘Snow is white’, they have said the same thing by uttering the sentences they did. Proponents of propositions hold that, speaking strictly, when speakers say the same thing by means of different declarative sentences, there is some (non-linguistic) thing, a proposition, that each has said.
