I 212 Difference verb/noun/adjective: less important - difference singular term/general term very important. I 231 Ambiguity: the name Paul is not ambiguous, no general term but singular term with dissemination - ambiguity action/habit: ice skaters, delivery (action, object). I 236 Ambiguities:. "one" (can be "any") - "nothing", "nobody" indefinite singular term (E.g. Polyphemus). I 244 Range ambiguous: cannot be decided by parentheses - indefinite singular term: one, any, any member - "not a"/"not every" - "I think one is so that..."/"is one so that I think ...". I 258 Indefinite terms do not denote objects - Indefinite singular term must therefore be in a purely denoting position: "Tax auditor is looking for someone" (position denoted - "someone" not denoted). >Someone/Geach. I 273 Opaque verb: "hunts lions" puts nothing in relation, does not denote a lion - relative term police chasing a man. I 285 Indefinite singular term: disappears in quantification "something is an x ​​such that", "everything is an x​​..". I 300 "Now", "then" Quine: singular term like "I", "you" - StrawsonVs: "now" no limits. "I 311 Singular term: can always be traced back to the form "=a" (unless variable) - i.e. actually general term (Predicate)! E.g. "=Mom", "=Socrates", "=Pegasus". I 323 Elimination of singular term: fusion of "=" with a piece of text - "=" remains! - Together with variables in predicative position - "=" predicative general term. I 327 Definitions: Instructions for transformation, restore singular term! - Flexible, without truth value gaps. --- VII (h) 144 Singular term/Quine: can be eliminated by paraphrase. >Elimination.}, note = { Quine I W.V.O.
