4. In Principia Ethica
analysis was applied to understand the nature of deliberations
5. According to Hacker, analysis is the of a concept in to its elements.
6. Symbolic logic was seen to be fundamental to theorizing
7. Regarding the origin of 20th century analytic philosophy is in orientation
8. A good way ahead was the role of logic and in philosophizing
9. Frege observed that there was lack of firm foundations in the discipline.
10. Frege’s logistic thesis claims that mathematical theorems concerning number can be
in terms of purely logical sort
11. Frege’s concern was mainly issues
12. The logical foundations for the proofs of are given in Begriffschrift
13. The looseness and of natural language is cancelled by using special
notations of ideal language
14. It is not the processes that Frege points to when he insists
on the proofs of the law of arithmetic.
15. The form of system of logic is through the conceptual notation of Frege.
16. The predicate in the proposition of the older logic is clarified through the analogy
of the mathematical notion of and logical notion of concept.
17. The combination of and function is said to have a truth value
18. According to Frege,It is the features in
language that one understands if one understands the nature of meaning in language
19. For Frege concepts are entities
20. According to Frege, the linguistic expression that stands for concepts is called
21. In Fregean thought understanding of words is successfully achieved by its
contribution to the formation and in sentences
22. Frege’s approach to philosophy of language is one
23. According to Frege, can be called the science which makes discoveries
about the existence and properties of certain independent abstract objects say numbers
24. In defining number, Frege defines class as the of the concept
25. It is only through standards set through language that the deficiencies of
natural language in day to day use could be recognized
26. According to Frege, it is in the of a sentence that a word has meaning
27. The task of logic comprises examining the type of components the sentences is
28. It is the interconnection in sequences as well as from their internal components in
forming arguments that make the difference between and modern logic
29. The new logic was a way to deal with formal structure of propositions, their
between themselves, with analysis of their internal parts and components.
30. Frege compared the mathematical notion of and argument with the logical notion
of concept and object
31. Frege conceived that thought is the of the sentence as a whole
32. In Frege’s conception thought can be expressed knowing its truth value
33. In thought being expressed in logical analysis distinctive colourings and tones are to be
34. The way we use language for scientific purposes is from the way we use
for poetry
35. Frege used wherever required in expressing generality
36. In the discourse of science everything that does not bear truth value is to be
37. Concept word is unsaturated or
38. In the Frege’s paper sense and reference, Morning star and evening star refer to the
same object but not their
39. Inorder to solve conceptual problems Bertrand Russell and Whitehead emphasizes an
language in the Principia Mathematica
40. According to Bertrand Russell in a logically perfect language there is exactly word for
a simple object.
41. It was on the paper “ On Denoting” that the theory of first appeared
42. Russell claimed that the theory of descriptions solved problems in ontology and
43. Frank .B.Ramsey categorized theory of descriptions as the of philosophy
44. T
hough proper name and definite description denote the same individuals still their
functions are different
45. By using the language of one could make out the differences between proper
name and definite description
46. Quines
rejection of Analytic- synthetic statements is the foundation for linguistic
47. It is the stimulation of endings through which the individual encounters the
world which can be a scientific basis for explanation of the stimulus
48. Quine considers two sentences mean the same proposition when they are true in the
possible worlds
49. The truths of logic and mathematics are true in possible worlds.
50. Quine considers that the fabric of sentences are
generated from expressions learnt in context which are complexly .
51. According to Quine,It is upon tacitly accepted corpus of information that we speak of
or deducibility relative to one another.
52. Quine states that it is not propositions which are true or false but sentence tokens or
sentences if they are
53. Eternal sentence is a sentence whose all have the same truth value.
54. According to Quine, If we are to construe logic as true by convention, we
must rest logic ultimately upon some manner of convention other than
55. Quine states, sentences can be made true by fiat by linguistic
56. There are modest list of phonemes which are small units
57. In Quine’s view, the lexicon is devised for use in speech by the grammarian
by demarcating the desired class.
58. Negation is a construction which
operate in constituents.
59. Quine states that regarding what operation is to be carried out upon the expressions
there are such
60. Catgories are for Quine parts of even though they do not preserve
traditional lines of cleavage
61. A word can be a noun in one category and verb in another category so in
such cases substitutability is
62. According to quine two kinds of linguistic notions are immanence and
63. A lexicon in Quine’s view point may be termed notion
64. According to Quine, It is through of construction that infinite category of
variables is generated.
65. One of the grammatical construction is a predicate with a variable
66. An sentence is neither true or false
67. According to Quine, what is lacking in logical grammer is a list of
68. Frege classified predicates as special case of expressions and
sentences as complex singular term.
69. When the dictionary giving the syntactic atom is added it will yield
70. The central task of is to provide semantic interpretation to every sentence in a
language, according to Davidson nowhere in linguistic literature is given how to accomplish
this task
71. According to Davidson theory of meaning is an empirical theory, it should account
for the working of language
72. Davidson wants to propose a formal theory for natural language
73. The work of Frege and Tarski
showed how languages
methods could be applied to natural
74. According to Davidson if demonstratives are
treated as happen
then logical error cannot
75. The distinguishing feature of analytic tradition according to Dummett is the focus on
and explication of language.
76. Dummett considers analysis of language is the only proper method to analyse
77. According to Dummett the defining characteristic of Analytic philosophy is priority of
philosophy of
78. According to Dummett, philosophy of language has central and role
79. It is through the internalizing principle governing its use that we use language,
Dummett considers these to be capable of .
80. Logical positivists developed a methodology to eradicate philosophical
81. According to Dummett the positions must be understood before we try to
resolve them
82. Dummett wanted the characterization meaning of linguistic statements
83. Dummett states that linguistic meanings are products of convention which enable
to take place
84. In Dummett’s theory of meaning, it is on the specification of meaning of
expression that generates the specification of meaning of every expression
85. According to Dummett, philosophy involves construction of theory of meaning
86. In Dummett’s philosophy meaning of a sentence should be analysed by conditions.
87. Linguistic competence is a activity and theory of meaning
should model it.
88. According to Dummett, theory of meaning has role within philosophy
89. It is through rules of interpretation that meaning of a sentence is derived
from deep structure
90. According to Noam Chomsky, grammer is our inner sub concious ability to generate
language in which human language is constituted by internal system of
91. Generative grammer is trying to establish the foundational principle which makes
possible language across all
92. The deep structure is related to the surface structure by grammatical
93. The main concern of transformative grammer was regarding
