(& August 1815

Names of real entities — names of fictitious entities
— in one or other of these two characters will every word
which in any language presents itself in the form of the
part of speech called a noun substantive
be found to serve [act [operate [in the field in the theatre of languages].

1
Every noun substantive
is the name
of a real or a fictitious
entity.

By every name of a real entity in so far as its import
of the word is understood is presented to held up brought to view an
object really existing — an object in relation to which
assertions — grammatical propositions having more or
less if not in them not only of meaning but of truth
are capable of being advanced.

2
Real entities
can be the subjects
of strictly in propositions

Taken by itself, and apart from any relation which it
may be understood to bear to some proposition which has for its subject a real entity, a
may be A proposition which has for its subject no other
than a fictitious entity, has neither truth nor meaning:
it is no better than a heap of uselessness.

If the above observations be found to be true — and
the more thoroughly they are examined, the stronger
and clearer it is believed will be the persuasion entertained of
their truth — two the two following two propositions will
be found presenting an incontestable claim to be received
as axioms. —

Abstractedly from
all relation to
real entities no
proposition having
for its object a
fictitious entity
has either truth
or meaning.

The above s
has the following
two axioms

1. To be understood every term to speak with the use the language of the Logicians —
every term substantive to speak with in the language the
Grammarians — every word which is the not the
name of a real entity requires to be explained by the
indication given of the relation which its import bears
to the import of a some word which is the name of a real
entity.

1. Every A term significative
of a real
entity
to
otherwise than by
means of some
which the import of it
is to
of some signification of a real entity.
