ISBN: 9789004097414 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Moreover, they reveal the originality of a personality which, based on the knowledge of Greek and...

ISBN: 9789004098329 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The semantics of anaphoric pronouns or relativa grammaticalia played an important role in the treatises of both grammarians and logicians in the middle ages.

Here philosophers of language take particular interest in the question of how far these expressions can be seen as colloquial counterparts of the bound variables known from predicate logic. This work shows that scholastic theories of suppositio...
