Benson Mates on Quotation Marks - Dictionary of Arguments
I 39 Quotation Marks/Mates: we use them when we want to refer to a particular symbol or expression - then we take them as a name for the symbol in the symbol - e.g. without quotation marks: If j and y are formulas, then (jvy) is a formula. >Levels/order, >Levels of Description, >Metalanguage, >Object language, >Quotation/disquotation. I 40 Here we insert names of expressions for "φ" and use "ψ" , the values are the expressions themselves. Problem: inserting expressions for "φ" and "ψ" results in the nonsense: e.g. ("F" a "v" F "b") (quotation marks set too tight). Solution: > spelling/Quine, >Names of expressions, >Names of sentences. I 75 Quotes/Mates: e.g. values of the statement "φ" ... with quotation marks._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
