What Figure 11.8 shows above all, though, is that the schema
Description of a
train of thought, a theory…
contains a variant called
Choice of the appropriate
CT(s)
- a variant which is defined by the selection of the three conceptual terms:
[Theory], [System of thought to be specified] and [Concept to be specified]. Our
schema (or, more precisely, the variant of our schema) is thus defined as a small
structure of three conceptual terms (belonging to the ASW meta-lexicon) which are
positioned in relation to one another in the form of a
relation
called
“or non-
exclusive”
(i.e.
“inclusivedisjunction”
-
vel
, in Latin).
Although we have had neither the time nor the means to implement the different
logical relations at software level, note that the structure which defines a schema is
composed of:
‒
the
selection
of one or more conceptual terms;
‒
and a
logical relation
defining the precise relationship between the selected
conceptual terms.
In principle, and in the vast majority of cases we have come across to date, it is
either a relationship of
simple affirmation
of the presence of a conceptual term in a
schema
or
the
relationship
called
“or non-exclusive”
or
indeed
“inclusivedisjunction”
(
vel
, in Latin).
Note, in addition, that all the other relations dealt with in the specialized
literature -
casual
relations,
attributive
relations,
partitive
relations,
locating
relations,
rhetorical
relations, etc. - only really come into play at the level
