简介

The paper appeared in 1935 in the first volume of “Studia Philosophica” (Lwów). Taking up Husserl’s categories of meaning and Leśniewski’s semantic categories, Ajdukiewicz assigns each expression either a basic category – sentence or name – or a functor category written as a fraction, such as s/n for a predicate that turns a name into a sentence. A simple calculation that cancels categories like fractions then shows whether a string of expressions forms a syntactically connected whole. In the 1950s Yehoshua Bar-Hillel adapted the notation for natural language and Joachim Lambek gave it a calculus; categorial grammar became one of the foundations of formal semantics, including Richard Montague’s.
