What is another word for truth-function?

Pronunciation: [tɹˈuːθfˈʌŋkʃən] (IPA)

When we talk about the truth-values of logic statements, we often use the term "truth-function" to describe how those values are determined by the composition of connectives and atomic propositions. However, there are a number of synonyms for this concept that can help us to varying degrees of specificity. Some examples might include "logical function", "Boolean function", "propositional function", or "truth-table". Each of these terms provides a slightly different perspective on the way that truth-conditions are established in symbolic logic. Depending on the context, some of these terms may be more appropriate or more readily understood by readers not familiar with the nuances of logic jargon.
