In the original, we are not proposing separate worlds though, not in that sense.
1. I assert that it is not raining.
2. It is not raining.
This chap saying that 1 and 2 exist in the same world, and are therefore contradictory. Equivalence of statement and assertion.

When semanticists work on natural language meaning, this requires use of the formal languages. It makes no sense to me to hard-wire human-speakers into a system of abstract logic (which we need when we reason about human speakers).
