On the Principles of Logical Analysis

The most important tasks of the logical analysis of natural language are considered, addressing several questions: (1) do universal principles of logical analysis exist? (2) can the metaphysical postulate be made that objectively valid, universal principles of logical analysis are ascertainable? (3) are universal principles of logical analysis currently being applied in the analyses of natural languages? (4) what is the object of logical analysis? (5) what type of language units (words, sentences, or texts) should become the primary object of logical analysis? & (6) what is the primary applicational goal of logical analysis? The question of logical form & Pavel Cmorej's (2005) distinction between semiword & language word are discussed, arguing that the primary application of logical analysis is to elaborate a theoretical foundation for creating a translation manual enabling the rendition of texts generated in natural language into a well-defined, formal language of a logical system.
