Donal: Where does Quine point this out?
Donal was inquiring about the old "salva veritate" issue. How many
letters in the words "bachelor" and "unmarried man," etc.
In "Two Dogmas of Empiricism," Quine argued that analyticity is
dependent upon notions of meaning. He concluded that strategies for
meaning depend on notions of synonymy and definition, each of which has
worries. Some think he demolished the distinction between analytic and
synthetic statements.
