Language, philosophy: language is a set of phonetic or written coded forms fixed at a time for the exchange of information or distinctions within a community whose members are able to recognize and interpret these forms as signs or symbols.

Carnap, Rudolf   Books on Amazon	Language	II 203 Language/Carnap: constructs two symbolic languages. In them he can give an exact definition of "analytic" and "the logical consequence of" etc.  Then he constructs the logical syntax for a group of language systems that only need to meet certain conditions. The most important one: the logical nature of the elements of this language system must not depend on a non-linguistic factor. That means that relationships are not readily determinable in natural languages, where pronouns like "I" or "this" occur. II 204 Language/Carnap: 1) object sentences: affect an object from the exact sciences - 2) synthetic sentences: the formal traits of symbols. II 205 3) pseudo-object sentences: E.g. "Five is not an object, but a number" - the contentual manner of speech: Pseudo object sentences - formal phraseology parallel syntactic sentences. _____________ Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
