[Lingtyp] What is propositional content?

[Vladimir Panov]

Dear typologists,

In various traditions of linguistics, both "formal" and "functional", there
is a habit to speak of "propositional content". I have a feeling that this
term is very difficult to define, especially if one takes cross-linguistic
variation seriously. In practice, many linguistis tend to use the term as
if the reader knew exactly what it means. Needles to say, the term has a
long and complex history.

Are you aware of any relatively up-to-date and possibly typllogy-friendly
literature which discusses this problem?

Thank you,
Vladimir
