Hi,

Does 'proposal' and 'proposition' mean the same and interchangeable here?

She has a proposition/proposal that may benefit both her and Tina.

The proposal/proposal to close the hospital was rejected by a large majority.

Thanks.

Generally, yes, but I think proposals are more formal presentations.

Although the two words have common meanings, to me a major usage of proposition is in logic, which means a statement to be proved true or not.

Truths are hard to prove, rumors are easy to make.

"Proposition" is very often used by sales people in a sense like "a business proposal that brings benefit to you". But as Mr M has mentioned, a formal presentation or document is often called a proposal, not proposition.
