| Citazioni | [...] in any one form-class, every form contains an element, the 'class-meaning, which is the same for all forms of this form-class. [...] the 'class-meaning' : the feature of meaning that is common to all the lexical forms in the form-class. Class-meanings are merely composites, or, one might say, greatest common factors, of the grammatical meanings which accompany the forms. [...] class-meanings are not clearly-definable units which could serve as a basis for our work, but only vague situational features, undefinable in terms of our science. |
