| Citazioni | We may want to define ‘function’ as the linguistic counterpart of the relationship between one element of the experience and the whole of the experience, so that we could speak of function in the case of any one of the marginal elements, but hardly in the case of the predicative core; the predicative function would then be no real function. |
