(11) is an argument schemata because it uses what are called metalanguage variables ‘A’ and ‘B’. These are variables for which you can substitute sentences of your object language (in your case, English). Let A = ‘dogs are black’ and B = ‘cats are happy’ and you get:

Dogs are black or cats are happy.

Dogs are not black.

Why are cats happy?

What are the differences between syntactic construction and syntactico-manufacturing?

A syntactic construction specifies just types of syntactic categories. Why? Unlike “Movement Language”, it don’t use any particular words of the language. If someone writes your text then it is applying the same principle to logic (although not many logicians do). In (elementary) logic, the syntactic categories are sentence, conjunction (also called a two-place connective) and one-place connectives (for example, negation).

What is each of these categories and why all of them have such strings of words? For example:

• sentences : dogs are black, cats are happy,.. conjunctions

• : , or, if…then one-place connectives :

• not A syntactic construction would

only use the category names and not the specific words that belong to those categories. For example:

sentence conjunction sentence

negation sentence

Notice

that I have not used any particular sentences or conjunctions. But (11) does use a particular word belonging to the category conjunction, namely ‘or. In that sense, it is more than a syntactic construction.
