Propositional meaningis also referred to assentence meaning. To know the meaning of a sentence is to know what the sentence is all about, and what, who, where, when and how are involved. The following sentences differ in their structure, but they share the same propositional content:
Her colleague regard her as being less than bright.
She is regarded as being less than bright by her colleague.
She strikes her colleague as being less than bright.
In other words, the above three sentences can be used to paraphrase each other's propositional meaning, and therefore paraphrasing becomes a very useful device to help us to check our understanding of the propositional content of a sentence.
