    The document discusses different relationships that can exist between sentences. It defines connotation as the implied meaning of an expression beyond its literal definition, and denotation as the logical relationship between a word and what it refers to. It then describes sentences being paraphrases of each other as having the same truth conditions, where if one is true the other must be true. Another relationship is mutual entailment, where each sentence entails the other such that both must be true. Additionally, one sentence may entail another without the reverse being true. Finally, sentences can be semantically related through contradiction, where for one sentence to be true the other must not be true.

    The relationships between sentences:


    Connotation
    The communicative value an expression has by virtue of
    what it refers to, over and above its purely conceptual
    content.
    'winter' might mean 'snow', 'sledging' and 'mulled
    wine'.
    Denotation
    Refers to logical, cognitive or denotative content.
    Concerned with the relationship between a word and the

    ONE RELATIONSHIP THAT TWO SENTENCES CAN


    HAVE WITH EACH OTHER IS BEING PARAPHRASES
    OF EACH OTHER. PARAPHRASES HAVE THE SAME
    TRUTH CONDITIONS; IF ONE IS TRUE, THE OTHER
    MUST ALSO BE TRUE.
    'THE BOYS LIKE THE GIRLS' AND 'THE GIRLS ARE
    LIKED BY THE BOYS'
    Mutual Entailment
    When each sentence entails the other, i.e. each
    sentence must be true for the other to be true.
    'John is married to Rachel' and 'Rachel is John's
    wife'

    OTHER TO BE TRUE, BUT THAT SENTENCE MAY


    BE TRUE WITHOUT THE OTHER SENTENCE
    NECESSARILY HAVING TO BE TRUE.
    'RACHEL IS JOHN'S WIFE' ENTAILS 'JOHN IS
    MARRIED' (BUT JOHN IS MARRIED DOES NOT
    ENTAIL RACHEL BEING HIS WIFE)
    CONTRADICTION
    SENTENCES CAN ALSO BE SEMANTICALLY
    RELATED WHEN THEY CONTRADICT EACH
    OTHER. SENTENCES CONTRADICT EACH OTHER
    WHEN FOR ONE TO BE TRUE THE OTHER MUST
    NOT BE.
    'RACHEL IS AN ONLY CHILD' AND 'RACHEL'S
