tüzelhetk

Tüzelhetk is a theoretical concept in linguistics, particularly within formal semantics, referring to the property of a sentence or utterance to be either true or false. In simpler terms, it is the condition that allows something to be judged as correct or incorrect in relation to the state of affairs it describes. A statement possesses tüzelhetk if it corresponds to reality or fails to do so. For instance, the sentence "The sky is blue" has tüzelhetk because it can be evaluated as true on a clear day and false if the sky is overcast or another color. Sentences that lack tüzelhetk include questions, commands, or exclamations, as these do not assert a proposition that can be true or false. The study of tüzelhetk is fundamental to understanding how language relates to meaning and truth conditions, forming a cornerstone of logical analysis of natural language. It is a prerequisite for many semantic theories that aim to formalize the interpretation of sentences.
