The proposition expressed does not contain the information conveyed by the mood/sentence-type. It follows that saying that P, questioning whether P and telling the hearer to make P true are all taken to have the same proposition expressed, which has also been considered what is said by an utterance. In this paper I argue against this. I contend that what is said by an utterance contains the information communicated by the mood. I call it the proposition extended. I analyse indirect speech as involving the proposition extended, not the proposition expressed by the original utterance. I deal with Korean indirect speech, from the point of view developed in the paper.
