Abstract
The article discusses the concept of fact, as well as other basic concepts of the situation semantics as they are given in A. Kratzer’s version of this approach. The advantages of the method for their constructing which is used by Kratzer over the method used by J. Barwise and J. Perry are revealed. Particular attention is paid to functions of Kratzer’s concept of fact in the semantics of epistemic attitudes, as well as in the theory of a special ("strong") kind of consequences which is distinguished in the situation semantics.
