G. Frege on Assertions - Dictionary of Arguments
II 29 Asserting sentence/assertion/Frege: as an equation the assertion has two parts: one is saturated, the other one is unsaturated. >Equation, >Unsaturated. Function: the function is the meaning of the unsaturated part: e.g. "conquered Gaul". Argument: Caesar - (sic without quotation marks) - Quotation Marks/(s): the argument is not put in quotation marks ((s) the person is the argument, not the name) - ((s)>Russell: the object itself occurs in the sentence. See Substitutional Quantifikation/Hintikka). II 32 Assertion/Designating/Frege: with a judging stroke: an assertion designates nothing! But it asserts something - either assert or designate. >Judgment. - - - IV 52 Thought/Frege: there is no complete thought without time determination. But then it is also timelessly true or false. Expression/Assertion/Frege: difference: time determination: is part of the expression - truth: is part of the assertion and timeless. Timeless things do not belong to the outer world. >Thought._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
