Or, is a married couple the same couple if they are not an ordered pair in the sense of set theory? That is, are Bill and Mary the same couple as Mary and Bill, independent of the order of the terms? >From an earlier thread, another issue is the rhetorical content of a pair of >symbols as the expressions that signify. Compare the content of two phrases: "husband and wife" with "round and blue". Do these two phrases have the same meaning in rhetoric as in set theory? If so, why? If not, why not? What is the syntactical "difference that makes a difference" that exists in the two sentences that you assert have the same meaning? Cheers jerry
