A property of contexts or frameworks where sentences that agree in truth value across all possible worlds can still differ in meaning or truth conditions
proposition(Used in the context of a semantic theory sensitive to differences in subject matter.)
The content expressed by a sentence, individuated at least in part by the subject matter of the sentence and the contents of its subsentential expressions.
