V 89ff
Combining/language acquisition/Quine: in animals there are no composite expressions. "How is ability of composition learned?" This is about language-dependent resemblance. Attributive: yellow paper is an observation term and could also be learned as a word: "predicative is yellow".
V 92
Situations must have the following complex property: expressions are uttered in such a way that the corresponding parts of the scene lie inside one another. Similar: the common element in the situations consists in a perceptible but not sufficient incentive to agree to a truth function: Problem: compositions of situation sentences (or observation sentences) are not truth-functional: E.g. We cannot understand the sentence "Here is yellow paper" as composed of "Here is yellow" and "Here is paper" because yellow and paper may exist in the scene without yellow paper existing there.
V 109
Compound sentence/Quine: is used when conjunction is denied but ((s) both is wrong). The party cannot only be individually.
