ABSTRACT

We have now constructed the syntax of Languages I and II and have thereby given two examples of special syntax. In Part iv we shall undertake an investigation of general syntax-that is to say, of that syntax which relates not to any particular individual lan­ guage but either to all languages in general or to all languages of a certain kind. Before we go on, in Division B, to outline a general syntax applicable to any language whatsoever, we shall first set down, in Division A, some preliminary reflections concerning the nature of syntactical designations and of certain terms which occur in syntax.
