1 On metalinguistic comparatives and negation in Greek
In this paper, we identify a paradigm of metalinguistic comparatives in Greek headed by the preposition para. Para clauses are lexically distinct from other comparatives clauses in Greek (headed by apo, apoti). Building on earlier intuitions, we propose a semantics of metalinguistic MORE as a contrast between two propositions in terms of how appropriate of preferred they are by some individual....
متن کاملThe metalinguistic perspective in mathematics∗
In this paper I consider three technical arguments in logic which have been held by various authors at diverse times to have consequences for the philosophy of mathematics. The first is Frege’s permutation argument, which Davidson (1979) has used to show that proper names have a determinate reference only in a relative sense. The second is the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem, which (like its close rel...

Howev...
