Life
Work
Le Page is one of several semanticists at the University of Paris in the second quarter of the 13th century (others include Nicholas of Paris and , to a lesser extent, Peter of Spain), who tried to explain how a syncategorematic term has meaning in one sense and in another sense not, by appealing to a distinction between significatio generalis or signification in general, and signification specialis, or specific signification. A syncategorematic term has only a general signification, which is indefinite until it is determined by the words to which it is attached to. [1]
