Propositional relationalists about the attitudes claim to find support for their view in what they assume to be the dyadic relational logical form of the predicates by which we canonically attribute propositional attitudes. In this paper I argue that the considerations that they adduce in support of this assumption, specifically for the assumption that the that-clauses that figure in these predicates are singular terms, are suspect on linguistic grounds. Propositional relationalism may nonetheless be true, but the logical form of attitude predicates provides no grounds for thinking this to be so.

That-c​​lauses：关于态度的关系主义的一些坏消息

关于态度的命题关系主义者声称在他们假设的谓词的二元关系逻辑形式中为他们的观点找到支持，我们通过这些谓词规范地归因于命题态度。在本文中，我认为他们为支持这一假设而引用的考虑因素，特别是假设在这些谓词中出现的that从句是单数项的假设，在语言学基础上是可疑的。尽管如此，命题关系主义可能是正确的，但态度谓词的逻辑形式并没有为这样的想法提供依据。
