Hi there! Well, I´m still dealing with this text, I need to know if I can rewrite this sentence:
We should thus distinguish between inherently metapragmatic semanticoreferential forms, lexicon and structural elements, the denotational values of which qua constituents of any grammatical expressions in which they occur characterize pragmatic facts of one sort or another....
into:
We should thus distinguish between inherently metapragmatic semantico-referential forms, lexicon and structural elements, whose values of denotation, in the character of components of any grammatical expressions in which they take place, characterize pragmatic facts of one sort or another...
Do you think it means the same (whatever "the same" is in this case)?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
