The logical and the extra-logical
pp. 235-252
Abstract
1. Medieval logicians called words like "every", "not", "is' and" some" 'syncategorematic." Today, such words — along with propositional constants such as "and", "if…then" and "or" — are referred to as logical or formative signs in contrast to extra-logical or descriptive signs.
