SIGNIFICATIO AND APPELLATIO
IN THE SEMANTICS OF ANSELM OF CANTERBURY
Marek Otisk


SUMMARIUM
S. Anselmi de significatione et apellatione doctrina

Huius dissertationis scopus est, problemata ad semanticam pertinentes in Anselmi „philosophia linguae“, quae certo magni momenti est in tota Anselmi philosophia, investigare. Intentio principalissima auctoris est, vim et sensum terminorum „veritas“, „rectitudo“ explicare, ut notio significationis illustretur. Auctor e. g. significationem nominum diversorum generum examinat. Specialis expositio versatur circa nomina denominativa, quia illis Anselmus non solum significationem (per se, per aliud, ut unum), sed etiam apellationem assignat.



SUMMARY
Significatio and appellatio in the semantics of Anselm of Canterbury

This paper is consecrated to the problems of the semantics in the Anselm’s philosophy of language – one of the most important parts of his philosophical inquiry. The main care is focused to the analysis of terms veritas and rectitudo, mainly because of significatio and the semantics – e.g. significatio with respect to names (proper and common; infinite, privative and empty). Special passage refers to denominative names, because in their case Anselm of Canterbury makes differences between significatio (per se, per aliud and ut unum) and appellatio in his semantic analysis.
