I 71
Expression/Express/Meixner: expressing something is not referencing.
>Reference.
Functions can be expressed by unconfirmed expressions.
>Functions, >Unsaturated.
Predicate: expresses a property, it does not denominate it!
>Predicates, >Properties, >Naming, >Denotation.
Predicate: is a linguistic indicator of universals, more direct than names.
>Universals, >Names.
I 102
Expression/Denominating/Meixner: Facts are expressed by sentences and denominated by that-sentences (subordinate clauses).
>States of affairs, >That-sentences, >Levels/order, >Description levels, >Exemplification.
I 118
Expressions/Expressing/Meixner: sentences can express something that is not in line with their meaning, e.g. "the sentence on page n line 1 is wrong ...".
>Propositions, cf. >Paradoxes.
I 152
Expressing: sentence expresses both a proposition and a fact (if it expresses something different from its meaning) - proposition: content of the sentence - fact: is unambiguously determined by this sentence content (proposition).
>Content.
I 153
Expressing: concepts such as universals through predicates.
Satisfaction: concepts are satisfied by entities.
>Satisfaction.
Exemplification: universals by entities - instantiating/instantiation: concepts and universals by entities (inverse to instantiation: concepts and universals apply to entities)
Cf. >True of.
I 154
Expression/Expressing: Predicates express concepts or properties (universals). - concepts do not express anything, universals do not express anything, properties express nothing, they are expressed.
Sentence: expresses proposition or fact.
Fact, proposition: express nothing, they are expressed.
E.g. "author of Waverley", "the person who is identical with Scott" do not express the same universal singularisation, but they do denominate the same individual.
E.g. "brother of..."/"only brother of": ((s) can apply to the same individual, or "only" to none.)
