Synopsis
Clarify how words mean what they say, and how to read and write with exact thinking.
This accessible introduction uses practical exercises to show how language expresses meaning, not just form. It guides readers through the basics of logical analysis as a tool for better writing and reading.
This edition presents a straightforward path: from what a statement is, to how terms name things, to how meanings combine when we talk about different ideas. It shows how to reduce everyday speech to clear, usable forms, and how to apply those ideas to real language and composition. The approach is beginner-friendly and emphasizes practical insights you can use in class or at home.- How to tell when two statements express the same meaning, are consistent, or contradict each other.
- How terms name things, qualities, actions, and relations, and how to distinguish extension and intension.
- How definitions and general terms work, and how to analyze sentences for complete meaning.
- Techniques for recognizing suppressed or implied statements in everyday speech.
