Abstract
This paper discusses non-indicative uses of indicative sentences. So-called declarative uses are argued to resist an analysis that is based on the idea of there being an underlying proposition, a traditional assumption in linguistics and philosophy. It ia argued that certain types of evaluative or coordinative discourse are also of such a non-propositional kind. The mere acknowledg- ment of this fact helps clarifying the kind of faultless disagreements that philosophers and linguists have been struggling with. The kind of constitu- tive use, so-called, is a precondition for the statement of propositions.
