Real§. 5 Proper Object or End
With respect to its import, the greater the degree
in which it the language of it is vitiated and rendered ill adapted to
the honest purpose of language by all the several imperfections elements of inaptitude
of which a mass of discourse is susceptible, the more
undesirable it is rendered in respect of the interests of
linguists the more desirable with in in respect of the
interests of learned gentlemen. These are: 1. obscurity,
2. ambiguity, 3. incorrectness . 4. incorrectness inappropriateness. 5. redundancies irrelevancy 6. lengthiness. 7. involvedness. 5. redundancy, in the .
In a of discourse Obscurity has place in so far as it is matter
of doubt whether it have any intelligible import at all,
when not so much as one intelligible import can be
found for it. 2. Ambiguity has place in so far as divers
imports present themselves in relation to which it is
plain that some one of them must have been the import
intended, but it is matter of doubt what that
one is. The attribute Ambiguity is inadequate: for it confines limits
to two the number of the competing significations: whereas
the number capable of having place is indefinite,⊞ ⊞ but language, at
any rate the English
language affords not
any that is adequate
any adjunct form
from the imperfection,
any word more adequate. Both Obscurity
and Ambiguity may have place its seat either in words singly considered
or it those assemblages of words assemblages of words collectively considered.
Collectively considered An Assemblage of words constitutes is either
insignificant or significant. If significant it
either constitutes what in grammatical a grammatical
assemblage or a logical assemblage: if a grammatical
ass is either an integral assemblage or a fractional assemblage.
If an integral assemblage it is either a grammatical or
a logical assemblage: if a grammatical, it is called a
sentence: if a logical, a proposition: if fractional it is
accordingly a fraction either of a sentence or of a proposition
or of a sentence.
