I 204 Sentence/name/abbreviation/substitute/proxy/Geach: e.g. if "P" and "Q" are abbreviations of sentences and "A" and "B", the respective names of these sentences, then we could have a convention, by which "A > B" is the name (abbreviation) of the sentence "P > Q". >Name of a sentence, >Level/Order, >Names, >Descriptions. Autonymous/Carnap: the symbol ">" in "A > B", is used as a sign of itself, autonymous. - (Geach per) >Logical constants, >Logical connectives, >Sign, >Symbol. I 258 Conjunction/Sentence/Frege: "P u Q" is a phrase that is different from "p" and "q" individually. Mill: ditto: otherwise "a group of horses" would be the same as "a kind of horse" - but not: E.g. "Jim is convinced and his wife is unfaithful". Solution: "the fact that ..." is always to be split into a pair of statements. >Facts. I 291 Sentence/GeachVsAristotle: it is a mistake to analyze complex sentences as a combination of atomic sentences. >Atomic sentence, >Complex, cf. >Compositionality._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
