Abstract

In the first section of this paper I consider the practice of volume-measurement in baking, and I distinguish between two measurement schemes that can be extracted from this practice. In the second section I argue that the ascription of propositional content to utterances bears intuitive affinity to one of these schemes, that extant accounts of propositions are in the mold of the other scheme, and that therefore an alternative conception of propositions is called for.
