| Citazioni | If we symbolize such a term as 'sing' by the algebraic formula 'A' [...] The element 'A' may be either a complete and independet word ( 'sing' ) or the fundamental substance, the so-called root or stem or 'radical element' ( 'sing -' ) of a word. [...] while the radical element may, on occasion, be identical with the word, it does not follow that it may always, or even customarily, be used as a word. |
