Grover, D. L. on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
Horwich I 323 Propositional Quantification/Camp, Grover, Belnap/CGB: problem: because "T" is a predicate (if it is read as "is true") and "Tp" is a sentence, "p" must be a term of the language, that means, it must occupy a nominal position. That, in turn, means that the quantifiers bind individual variables (of a certain type), and not variables via sentences. I 324 Problem: these are no longer the Ramsey variables. Ramsey variables are the ones that bind variables that occupy sentence positions. Sellars: this is right: relative pronouns can represent formulas with bound individual variables but not with propositional variables, because they have a sentence position. Solution: we need cross-reference. Cross-reference: cross-reference is made of a variable. The variable must be able to occupy the sentence position. -> Pronoun -> "Pro-verb": e.g. "do". I 331 "Generic"/Camp, Grover, Belnap/CGB/(s): here: "generic" is dependent on the antecedent. I 332 "Thatt"/CGB: "thatt" is not a new term. It is only new grammar: e.g. Mary says: "It is hot". John says: "Thatt". There are no new feature ascribing predicates. I 334 English* (with asterisk): English* is used without a truth predicate, but with the Prosentence "It is true". "Is" cannot be modified (time, etc.), because the Prosentence cannot be split. Solution: e.g. "It-is-going-to-be-true" etc. Hyphen: the hyphen shows that the truth predicate in English* cannot be isolated. N.B.: English can be translated into English* without any sacrifices - that is enlightening. >Prosentential theory._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
