Abstract
Traditionally, the meaning of a sentence is identified with its truth conditions. This approach is driven by the age-old attention that philosophy has devoted to the study of argumentation. In terms of truth conditions one defines entailment, the crucial notion that rules the soundness of an argument: a sentence ϕ is said to entail another sentence ψ in case the truth conditions for ϕ are at least as stringent as the truth conditions for ψ.
