| Paragraph 1 |
A sentence is a significant portion of speech, some parts of which
have an independent meaning, that is to say, as an utterance, though
not as the expression of any positive judgement. |
| Paragraph 2 |
Every sentence has meaning, not as being the natural means by
which a physical faculty is realized, but, as we have said, by
convention. |
| Paragraph 3 |
Let us therefore dismiss all other types of sentence but the
proposition, for this last concerns our present inquiry, whereas the
investigation of the others belongs rather to the study of
rhetoric or
of poetry. |
