¿Qué son las constantes lógicas?

Abstract

The aim is to offer a characterization of logical constants [LC] focusing on the meaning of their natural language counterparts. [LC] includes syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects which are individually necessary and jointly sufficient for an expression to score as a logical constant. The conclusion reached at is the following: that the expressions included in the traditional list of logical constants do not share relevant features from the point of view of their meaning that justify their treatment as a homogeneous group. Only some uses of conditional, negation and quantifiers are genuine logical constants.
