47) Mary smiled sadly. Interestingly, utterances in which fortunately and regrettably contribute to the truth conditions of utterances containing them are extremely rare, though not completely non-existent, as (48) and (49) show: (48) Things turned out most fortunately. (49) She left regrettably soon after she arrived. 4 Illocutionary and attitudinal particles and interjections23 While it might be debatable whether or not illocutionary and attitudinal adverbials affect the truth properties of the sentences in which they occur, it seems uncontentious that illocutionary and attitudinal particles and interjections do not, or at least not in the standard way.
However, as Dummett (1981, p. 83) points out, in his capacity as a philosopher, Frege wanted to give an analysis of language not just as it is used for the 30 Linguistic Meaning, Truth Conditions and Relevance purposes of logic and mathematics but in all its function. This led to his recognition that not all linguistic meaning can be captured in truthconditional terms. The very fact that someone like Frege recognised the existence of such meaning, to my mind, indicates just how fundamental it is to natural language.

Since these extra propositions all seem to concern the way in which the truth-conditional contents of two clauses or sentences relate to each other, they might more usefully be considered separately from ‘presuppositional’ expressions. Of course, what all these connectives have in common with the other italicised expressions in this Section is that they do not affect the truthconditional content of the sentences or clauses they connect.
