ABSTRACT
In the Tractatus, Wittgenstein was concerned to account for the essence of any conceivable language. There are various different concepts of grammar and thus a useful way to begin to understand Wittgenstein’s idea of grammar is to consider what he took the notion to cover. Wittgenstein claimed that the intensional and the extensional concepts of a set are grammatically different. An important aspect of the breadth of Wittgenstein’s concept of grammar relates to the differentiation between syntax and semantics. A significant part of the width of Wittgenstein’s notion of grammar is connected to the difference between semantics and pragmatics. He disputed the clear separation of semantics from pragmatics. From the middle period onwards, the concept of grammar was used and it differs from the notion of logical syntax in many important respects.
