Notes:
Propositions about law result from thought about law, which is the business of jurisprudence. We shall be concerned with those propositions in which jurisprudence formulates its most general conclusions. Such propositions are expressed in statements or sentences of the general grammatical form ‘Law is “so and so”’, or more briefly, ‘Law is “X”’. By propositions about law we shall mean propositions, statements or sentences in this form. Similarity in form does not, however, necessarily imply similarity of logical function, any more than the use of the same word, ‘law’, is a guarantee that the same ‘thing’ or ‘entity’ is being referred to. Our propositions may in fact have etymological, defining, explanatory and/or emotive functions. To distinguish and to clarify these functions is the purpose of this article.
