| Citazioni | [...] ‘“substance” cannot in itself be a definiens for a language’. We must be able to imagine as ordered to one and the same linguistic form substances which, from the point of view of the substance-hierarchy, are essentially different; the arbitrary relation between linguistic form and purport makes this a logical necessity. |
