Abstract

Husserl's account of syncategorematic terms in his fourth Logical Investigation has two motives. On the one hand, Husserl has a straightforward interest in the medieval logical problem of whether words like "and" and "all" have meaning in isolation, or alternatively only supplement meaningful words such as nouns and verbs. But more important, Husserl uses this problem to articulate certain features of meaning and synthesis.
