Instead of treating it as expressing the application of __ is asleep on the floor to my dog, we can think of it as expressing the application of the concept\n my dog is asleep on __\nto the object\n the floor\n(see Frege 1919). Frege recognizes what is now a commonplace in the logical analysis of natural language. We can attribute more than one logical form to a single sentence. Let us call this the principle of multiple analyses. Frege does not claim that the principle always holds, but as we shall see, modern type theory does claim this.",

Instead of treating it as expressing the application of __ is asleep on the floor to my dog, we can think of it as expressing the application of the concept\n my dog is asleep on __\nto the object\n the floor\n(see Frege 1919). Frege recognizes what is now a commonplace in the logical analysis of natural language. We can attribute more than one logical form to a single sentence. Let us call this the principle of multiple analyses. Frege does not claim that the principle always holds, but as we shall see, modern type theory does claim this.",
