I don't want to throw out too many ideas in one post, but it would help me to have an automatic template automatically applied to a new page, or alternatively, a big button that would load a basic template, perhaps containing a sample paragraph in a comment tag with every common formatting device as an ostensive " cheat sheet ".

Freudenthal's book on Lincos discusses it with many technical words from linguistic and logical theory, usually without defining them, which may have reduced its general interest, though the main chapters can be understood without these technical terms : appellatives, binding, formalization, function, lexicology, logistical, ostensive, quasi-general, semantics, syntax, variables, etc.

He writes : " If we are taught the meaning of the word'yellow'by being given some sort of ostensive definition [ in this case, " ostensive " means something like " denoting a way of defining by direct demonstration, e . g ., by pointing " ] ( a rule of the usage of the word ) this teaching can be looked at in two different ways : ( A ).

"The common characteristics are : ( 1 ) radical novelty ( features not previously observed in systems ); ( 2 ) coherence or correlation ( meaning integrated wholes that maintain themselves over some period of time ); ( 3 ) A global or macro " level " ( i . e . there is some property of " wholeness " ); ( 4 ) it is the product of a dynamical process ( it evolves ); and ( 5 ) it is " ostensive " ( it can be perceived ) . " For good measure, Goldstein throws in supervenience.

For example, the word " house " derives its meaning more as a function of how it differs from " shed ", " mansion ", " hotel ", " building ", etc . ( Form of Content, that Louis Hjelmslev distinguished from Form of Expression ) than how the word " house " may be tied to a certain image of a traditional house ( i . e . the relationship between signified and signifier ) with each term being established in reciprocal determination with the other terms than by an ostensive description or definition : when can we talk about a " house " or a " mansion " or a " shed "?

He writes in The Blue Book, " [ I ] n general we don't use language according to strict rules-- it hasn't been taught us by means of strict rules, either . " Wittgenstein clarifies the problem of communicating using a human language when he discusses learning a language by " ostensive defining . " For example, if one wanted to teach someone that a pencil was called a " pencil " and pointed to a pencil and said, " pencil, " how does the listener know that what one is trying to convey is that the thing in front of me ( e . g ., the entire pencil ) is called a " pencil "?
