 There are several proposals in the literature that elucidate the relation between a sentence and the situations or events that exemplify it by positing a special recursive mechanism that relates sentences to the set of exemplifying events or situations (see Schein 1993, chapters 9 and 10 for discussion of this issue). Possibilistic versions of situation semantics typically start out with a recursive truth definition that relates utterances of sentences to the sets of possible situations in which the utterances are true, the propositions expressed. The situations or events that exemplify a proposition can then be defined as the “minimal” situations in which the proposition is true (see the entries on  events,  facts,  states of affairs,  and truthmakers). The challenge presented by sentences (27) and 28(a) to (d) is that they suggest that a naïve notion of minimality won’t do. A more flexible notion of minimality seems to be needed. The following section will document in some detail how the desired notion of minimality might emerge from a simple definition of exemplification in interaction with independently justified sentence denotations. The issue is under active investigation, however, and cannot be considered settled before a wide range of different constructions has been looked at. Whatever the ultimate outcome may be, the following discussion will provide the opportunity to illustrate how the shift from possible worlds to situations affects the denotations we might want to posit for an expression. In a situation semantics, there are often several ways of assigning denotations to an expression that are hard to distinguish on truth-conditional grounds. Looking at the situations that exemplify a sentence as well as its truth-conditions helps with the choice.
