    According to the peer reviewed academic Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, propositional logic, “...also known as sentential logic and statement logic, is the branch of logic that studies ways of joining and/or modifying entire propositions, statements or sentences to form more complicated propositions, statements or sentences, as well as the logical relationships and properties that are derived from these methods of combing or altering statements...the most thoroughly researched branch of propositional logic is the classical truth-functional propositional logic, which studies logical operators, and connectives that are used to produce complex statements whose truth-value depends entirely on the truth-values of the simpler statements making them up, and in which it is assumed that every statement is either true or false and not both.”
