Abstract.

The essay concentrates on relations between syntax and ontology. A kind of categorial semantics connected with the standard categorial grammar is examined, and ontological presuppositions of this semantics are critically discussed. The naming relation for functorial expressions postulated by categorial semantics is regarded as the most debatable. The Frege’s Principle and other semantical rules adopted by categorial semantics are discussed. The proposal of a more intuitive semantical rule for predicates, and then the question of adequacy of categorial grammar for a natural language are considered.
