Analytic / Synthetic / Contradiction An analytic sentence is one that is necessarily true, as a
result of the meaning of the words in it.
A contradiction is a sentence that is necessarily false, as a result of the meaning of the words in it.
A synthetic sentence is one which is not analytic but may be either true or false depending on the way the world is.
