19. Language / D. Propositions / 2. Abstract Propositions / a. Propositions as sense

2518	Sentences are abstract types (like musical scores), not individual tokens [Katz]
	Full Idea: Sentences are types, not utterance tokens or mental/neural tokens, and hence sentences are abstract objects (like musical scores).
	From: Jerrold J. Katz (Realistic Rationalism [2000], Int.xxvi)
	A reaction: If sentences are abstract types, then two verbally indistinguishable sentences are the same sentence. But if I say 'I am happy', that isn't the same as you saying it.
