Abstract
The informational structure of an utterance is the way in which the already available information recalled or presupposed by the utterance (the " theme ") and the new information conveyed by the utterance (the " propos ") are distributed within the utterance. Brentano-Marty and Strawson's ideas on the structure of judgment can be reinterpreted within this theoretical framework. A thetic statement is then a statement whose theme is external to the content of the judgment, and does not correspond to its subject or to any other element of its content.
