To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' Of these the form " so that " is strictly incorrect. Its proper function is to introduce a result employed as a measure of the intensity of some preceding element; e. g. "The iron is so hot that I cannot hold it." That is, the iron is hot to the degree indicated by my inability to hold it. The different use of "so " in the present class of cases appears in the example, 36 Owen — Meaning and Function of Thmight- Connectives. The original (?) value of "so " is " in that degree;'' e. g. "The boy... is so tall" (accompanied by an explanatory gesture). From this it has made the somewhat difficult transition to the value of " in that manner, " e. g. " He stood so" (accompanied by a de- scriptive attitude). Both these values, primarily deiktio or demonstrative, easily become anaphoric or reinstative. Thus " The sun melts snow by its heat. So fire melts lead. " That is, " Fire melts lead in a previously mentioned, reinstated manner." Another easy transition develops the meani;ig "by the same agency " or " from the same cause.
