Individuation may happen in many ways, individuals of a schema being finely or coarsely grained. , κN, as the sole token of the schema σN turned into a type. We have compared the existence of articulators without individuators roughly with the existence of feature universals in the sense of Strawson. A more refined account of some important logico-linguistic categories may now be given in the following way: Predicators ‘N̲ ’ with canonically attached individuators such that the intermediate schemata σ(ιN) are treated as semantically inseparable from the schema σN shall be called individuatives (= count nouns, denoting ‘sortal universals’ in the sense of Strawson).
Bartsch 1972. 11 Some authors, like Goodman in: Goodman 21966, prefer the term ‘togetherness’ – with a somewhat more restricted application – to ‘coincidence’. 30 Philosophical Logic and Philosophy of Language ‘this ε N’ via ‘this ε N̲ ’, would be without foundation. On the other hand, not all actualizations δP of σ(ιP) can coincide with actualizations δN of σN, as this would imply that ιP itself is an individual ιN. Hence, the composite out of all those δP of σ(ιP) that coincide with actualizations δN is a proper part of κ(ιP) and must be either the whole κ(ιN) of some individual ιN or the whole out of some number of individuals ιN.
12 Beyond finding different structural rules with a common core of particle rules such that the set of formally true propositions matches certain logics already under discussion, it was part of the original objective of dialogic logic to exhibit and to evaluate the relations of intuitionistic dialogue games with other dialogue games as well as with other approaches to logical reasoning. Yet, apart from this, the concept of dialogue-definiteness will always have to belong to the rock bottom of dialogic logic.
