ABSTRACT
Logical analysis is seen as a method which aims at making the logical structure or logical form of a statement explicit by means of a certain artificial language. Logical analysis is a process which may involve a variety of steps and employ various strategies. The atomistic perspective concentrating on individual statements comes naturally especially when we consider simple sentences, we often use our insight as if to see their logical structure. But the holistic perspective is surely legitimate too, and in fact more so. Sticking to the mapping simile, we can say that any map of the 'inferential landscape' must contain some vertices which may be associated with corresponding statements of the target language and some edges connecting them. We can construct the map in different ways, but it is natural to require that the logical language we use should be simpler than natural language. A successful creation of a usable artificial language may be useful in many practical ways.
