T his distinction is usually stipulated (though it c an be argued that natural languages make a similar distinction), but the issue of the grounds for it , i.e. of what characterizes a logical constant, i s a central question in logic, cutting across the huge variety of logical systems existing today. Th is question has been tackled from various sides, r anging from historical investigation to formal cri teria spelled out within different logical framewo rks.

All l ogical systems make a distinction between logical and\n non-logical symbols, and the meaning of the former needs to be\n specified in de tail and in effect defines the logic in\n q uestion. This distinction is usually stipulated (t hough it\n can be argued that natural langu ages make a similar\n distinction), but the issue of the grounds for it, i.e. of\n wha t characterizes a logical constant, is a central q uestion\n in logic, cutting across the huge variety of logical systems\n existing toda y. This question has been tackled from various\n sides, ranging from historical investigation to formal\n criteria spelled out within di fferent logical frameworks. The\n main aim of this ESSLLI-2001 workshop is to gain a better\n understanding of the problem by bringing t ogether\n complementary approaches coming f rom various fields, namely\n logic, philoso phy of logic and mathematics, linguistics and\n the history of logic.
