	Propositional Attitude Reports
		Most propositional attitude attributions use a propositional attitude verb that is followed by a that-clause, a clause that includes a full sentence expressing a proposition.
		Similar puzzles arise with all propositional attitudes.) Consider the situation of Lois Lane, who is very familiar with Clark Kent, her fellow employee, and Superman, the hero she most admires, but who does not recognize that ‘Clark Kent’ and ‘Superman’ refer to the same person.
		Without propositional attitude attributions, we might hope for a simpler situation for semantics, in which only the referent of a name is relevant to the evaluation of sentences that contain it.
