 Two such models, labeled ‘(P1)’ and ‘(P4)’ below, receive a great deal of Stevenson’s attention, because they paradigmatically exemplify for the sentence ‘This is good’ what Stevenson calls respectively his “First Pattern” and “Second Pattern” of analysis (1944, chapters IV and IX). These patterns and, hence, (P1) and (P4) differ most importantly in descriptive richness and emotive force. (P1)’s descriptive content is scant, conveying only information about the speaker’s attitude and, therefore, conveying only somewhat more information than is conveyed by (P1)’s relatively strong emotive element; therefore, (P1) well-models those uses of an ethical sentence at which front and center is a speaker’s attitude. (P4)’s descriptive content conveys more complex, precise information about the qualities of which the speaker approves and merely characterizes ‘This is good’ as conveying emotive force; therefore, (P4) well-models those uses of an ethical sentence at which front and center are a speaker’s moral standards.
