Statement
From Philosophical Logic
A simple statement is a statement, which itself doesn't contain any other statements. In logical notation it is usually symbolized by one of the letters p, q, r etc..
- "Sokrates is a human being."
- Logical notation: p
A compound statement is a statement which contains other statements, operators or connectives.
- "Sokrates is not blind."
- Logical notation: ¬ p
- "Sokrates is a human being, therefore Sokrates is mortal."
- Logical notation: p → q
