token-reflexive theory is that it implies there are non-equivalent truth 
conditions of the statements made (pro positions expressed) by two synonymous 
sentence-tokens. Suppose that a token U of “Jane is falling asleep” states a 
true proposition if and only if <I>U is simultaneous with Jane falling asleep</I>, 
and a simultaneous token V of this sentence states a true proposition if and 
only if <I>V is simultaneous with Jane’s falling asleep</I>. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3A56B2B9-4455-4278-A148-F49816B61FAE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
