- Siè diccusso il significato dei tre livelli a cui un'espressione può appartenere (capitolo 4). Sebastiano ha chiesta se corrispondono alla forma logica di un'enunciato. Andrea B. ha suugerito che devono essere visti come ruoli funzionali, ovvero tipologie di elementi significanti con ruoli semantici. Non sono categorie di espressioni perché una g-word può avere ruoli diversi.
