"Logically Significant Words in the Gongsun Longzi" by Thierry LUCAS, UCL\
\
This is chapter 9 of "The Gongsun Longzi and other neglected texts", edited by Rafa\'ebl Suter, Lisa Indraccolo and Wolfgang Behr.\
\
ABSTRACT OF THE CHAPTER\
The \'93School of Names\'94 (M\'edngji\uc0\u257  
\f1 \'c3\'fb\'bc\'d2
\f0 ) has brought logical considerations into the field of Chinese philosophy. The present contribution aims to give a \'91measure\'92 of the \'91logicity\'92 of the texts, more particularly of the texts of the G\uc0\u333 ngs\u363 n L\'f3ngz\u464  
\f1 \'b9\'ab\'8c\'4f\'fd\'88\'d7\'d3
\f0 . The chapter looks at some logically significant words, such as y\uc0\u466 u 
\f1 \'d3\'d0
\f0 , w\'fa 
\f1 \'9f\'6f
\f0 , k\uc0\u283  
\f1 \'bf\'c9
\f0 , f\uc0\u275 i 
\f1 \'b7\'c7
\f0 , b\'f9 
\f1 \'b2\'bb
\f0 , g\'f9 
\f1 \'b9\'ca
\f0 , and su\uc0\u466 y\u464  
\f1 \'cb\'f9\'d2\'d4
\f0 , trying to make the analysis as objective as possible. To accomplish this, I pay special attention to the occurrences of these words: their numbers, their immediate contexts, and their non-controversial variations of meaning. I am confident that this type of inquiry brings out some features of the logical structure of the texts of the G\uc0\u333 ngs\u363 n L\'f3ngz\u464  and demonstrates their similarities and differences. It is hoped that this approach will help to confirm, invalidate, or at least qualify the hypothesis of their different origins.\
