ABSTRACT

The investigations just completed have not done with the question raised at the beginning of §34. Our result was that presentations and judgements are essentially different acts . Since the ambiguity of words again needs the help of standard-setting concepts, we mean by 'presentations' nominal acts, and by 'judgements' assertions that are normally performed and complete. Naming and asserting do not merely differ grammatically, but 'in essence' , which means that the acts which confer or fulfil meaning for each, differ in intentional essence, and therefore in act-species. Have we thereby shown that presentation and judgement, the acts which lend meaning and semantic fulfilment to naming and assertion, belong to different basic classes of inten­ tional experience?
