Extension of List Criteria: Rectifying Logical Flaws in Text

Wim G. B. Mandersloot ; Clive G. Bruckmann University of Pretoria

Abstract

The detection of flaws in a list provides an opportunity to widen the perspective on the list content [1]. An additional opportunity occurs when the list heading has two distinct meanings. The list may then be represented better by a two-dimensional array. The case considered is that of the term function used in a list heading. Split into its most common meanings, objective and means used, it provides a new view on the list content. It produced, for instance, a two-dimensional structure for the main functions of language.
