I 21 Concept/Gärdenfors: concepts are expressed by words. --- I 24 Concepts/Waismann(1)/Gärdenfors: Thesis: most concepts are essentially incomplete in the sense that one can only specify some characteristic of the concept, but not all. --- I 25 Concepts/Gärdenfors: are based on one or more quality domains (while properties are based on one domain at a time). Concepts have several cognitive functions: they categorize perceptions, play a role in concluding, and form the basis for word meanings. 1. Waismann, F. (1968). Verifiability. In A. G. N.
