Sentence, Utterance, and Proposition
Sentence : a group of words that are put together to mean something. The basic unit of language, expresses a complete thought, following grammatical rules of syntax.
Simple – Compound - Complex
Utterance : A natural unit of speech bounded by breaths or pauses.
Any sound of talk, that human produce. Usually written by quotation mark.
Proposition : express a declarative sentence either it’s true or not.
Utterance (Spoken), Proposition (Judgment or Opinion)
Examples
Sentence
She is clever. Ani and Andi are diligent students. She is smart, but lazy.
Proposition
Sinta ate banana. Was Sinta eaten the banana?
Utterance
“Get out from this office, now!”
Compare each others
Utterance not always a sentence, it could be phrase, fragment, exclamation word.
A sentence could be utterance.
Proposition can also be said utterance.
Sentence can be said utterance, but not necessarily vice versa.
Example:
Anita Loves Ryan. Must Ryan loves Anita?
02/03/2017Reference, Sense, and Referring Sentence
Reference: relation between the linguistics elements, word, sentence, and other with non linguistics word of experience.
Sense of a word is the additional meaning attached to the word.
A referring expression used in an utterance to refer something or someone.
it could be: Proper name, Personal pronoun.
Reference of the word is the object designated by the word.
Sense relates to the complex system of relationship that hold between the linguistics elements themselves.
Examples
John jokes with Lina. Referents: John and Lina.
John has an idea. Referents: John and idea.
“Agus hits me!”
The speaker has a particular person in the mind: Agus.
It is not referring expression: There is no Agus’s name in this place.
I have an account in the bank.
She walks in the bank of the Nil’s river.
Compare
Referents could be abstract or things.
Reference: sudah disepakati dunia.
Example: moon is the orbit of earth.

Predicate and Universe of Discourse
Predicate : a sequence of words can function as the predicator of a sentence. (noun, verb, adjective, and preposition. Only has one sense.
A predicate cold be part of referring. Ex: The thick dictionary was borrowed. Thick: predicate borrowed: predicator. Predicators : simple declarative sentence which does not belong to any of
referring expression and which of the remainder. (makes the most specific contribution t o the meaning of the sentence)
Universe of discourse could be real or fiction.

Sense Properties and Stereotypes
Sense, a statement or sentence with their own meaning.
T here are three types of sense:
A. Analytic, sentence that necessary true. Reflects agreement between speaker and listener.
B. Synthetic, it could be true, sometimes it could be false.
C. Contradiction, is opposite of analytic. The sentence is necessarily false.
Examples:
Cat is carnivore.
Jonas comes from Srilanka.
Fish can fly with wings.
Before talking about stereotype, we need to think about prototype.Stereotype is some characteristics from prototype. A prototype of elephant is some actual of elephant, whereas stereotype is some characters describe of elephant.
Example: Prototype (Cat); it is animal, Stereotype: It is mammals with four legs. It has nice and soft fur. It likes fish.
Stereotype
1. Synonymy: two words have the same meaning. Very big=Large.
2. Hyponymy: the meaning of a word is included in that of another
3. Antonym: the opposite meaning of words. Small vs Big.

OPPOSITENESS OF MEANING13/ 04/ 2017
ANTONYM IS OPPOSITENESS OF MEANING OR WE CAN SAY IT IS A CONTRADICTION.
CONTRADICTORY IS A PROPOSITION THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE BE TRUE IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE AND SAME TIME.
AMBIGOUS IS A WORD THAT HAS MORE ONE SENSE IN A SENTENCE.
EXAMPLES
ANTONYM:
CLEAN VS DIRTY .
CONTRADICTORY
THIS ROOM IS CLEAN IS CONTRADICTORY WITH THIS ROOM IS DIRTY

V comes from vel means or
Hani is here -> h HERE
Charlie is a teacher -> c TEACHER
Becomes:
(h HERE) V (c TEACHER)
Rules: if any statement has false a statement the impact for proposition and be false.
Rules: if any statement has true a statement the impact for disjunction or be true.
Derivation and Participant Roles
Process of derivation divides in three parts: morphological, syntactic, and semantics process.
Morphological Process is the adding of prefix or suffix in the pre existing words.
Syntactic Process is changing the part of speech.
(e.g.: from verb to noun).
Semantics process is producing a new sense of the words.
EXAMPLE
Morphological Process:
Uninteresting, Magnify, Clearly.
Syntactic Process:
Wider.
Semantic Process:
Sleeper, keeper.
