Abstract
This paper tries to explore possible relations and differences between three kinds of contemporary theories about cognition and language: the approaches supporting the idea that there is a mental logic, the mental models theory, and the frameworks based upon probability logic. That exploration is made here by means of the analytic sentences and the revision of the way each of those types of theories can deal with them. The conclusions seem to show that the three kinds of theories address such sentences in a similar manner, which can mean that there can be more links between them than thought.

The Analytic Sentences shown below, groups or kinds of theories, are usually known as the approaches supporting a mental logic, the mental models theory, and the frameworks based upon probability logic
Before him, for example, Sextus Empiricus, in Pyrroniae Hypotyposes 2.112, speaks about some thinkers that claim that a conditional is only true when its consequent can be derived from its antecedent
Summary
This paper tries to explore possible relations and differences between three kinds of contemporary theories about cognition and language: the approaches supporting the idea that there is a mental logic, the mental models theory, and the frameworks based upon probability logic. The conclusions seem to show that the three kinds of theories address such sentences in a similar manner, which can mean that there can be more links between them than thought. It is argued, as a possibility, that the three theories can be accepted at the same time, and that it can be assumed that their differences refer just to the fact that they deal with different aspects of language and cognition.
