5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 1. Logical Form

6339	Logical form is the aspects of meaning that determine logical entailments [Horwich]
	Full Idea: The logical forms of the sentences in a language are those aspects of their meanings that determine the relations of deductive entailment holding amongst them.
	From: Paul Horwich (Truth (2nd edn) [1990], Ch.6.30)
	A reaction: A helpful definition. Not all sentences, therefore, need to have a 'logical form'. Is the logical form the same as the underlying proposition. The two must converge, given that propositions lack the ambiguity that is often found in sentences.

5. Theory of Logic / F. Referring in Logic / 1. Naming / d. Singular terms

3137	Varieties of singular terms are used to designate token particulars [Rey]
	Full Idea: We designate token particulars with singular terms, such as: proper names, numerals, definite descriptions, demonstratives, pronouns or variables.
	From: Georges Rey (Contemporary Philosophy of Mind [1997], 1.1.1)
