Internal Relation

Definition:

An internal relation is an interpropositional relation that relates the situations described in the propositions by their communicative usage as opposed to relating the situations described by the propositions.

Examples:

(English)

  • If you’re free tonight, there's a party at Bill’s house.

This example contrasts with the following sentence, which is an example of an external relation sequence:

  • f it doesn’t rain, there will be a party at Bill’s house.
