Logic Structure; Ambiguity; Entity.Abstract
The essay discusses which type of ambiguities is better to be eliminated by using the logical perfect language in logical form, discusses the range of the p-complement problem that mind-possessing entity could solve, by analyzing Hasegawa’s examples and Portal’s criticizes, the lexical and syntactic ambiguities, and makes a comparison of the meaning and properties of “entity” between linguistics and metaphysics.
