    In the language of everyday life it very often happens that the same word 
signifies in two different ways -- and therefore belongs to two different 
symbols -- or that two words, which signify in different ways, are apparently 
applied in the same way in the proposition.

    Thus the word "is" appears as the copula, as the sign of equality, and as 
the expression of existence; "to exist" as an intransitive verb like "to go"; 
"identical" as an adjective; we speak of something but also of the fact of 
something happening.

    (In the proposition "Green is green" -- where the first word is a proper 
name as the last an adjective -- these words have not merely different meanings 
but they are different symbols.)
