Line 3: The ''form'' or '''logical form''' of an argument is the representation of its sentences using the [[formal grammar]] and symbolism of a logical system to display its similarity with all other arguments of the same type. It consists of stripping out all spurious grammatical features ~~elements~~ from the sentence (such as gender, and passive forms), and replacing all the expressions specific to ''the subject matter'' of the argument by [[schematic variable]]s. Thus, for example, the expression 'all A's are B's' shows the logical form which is common to the sentences 'all men are mortals', 'all cats are carnivores', 'all Greeks are philosophers' and so on. == History ==
