Abstract
The fact that the expression ‘to be presented’ is ambiguous in that both the content as well as the object of a presentation are said to be presented makes a precise distinction between content and object more difficult. We have said already that the content and the object of a presentation are not in the same sense “something presented.” We shall now try to determine what the expression ‘presented’ means when it is applied to the object of a presentation and what sense it has when it is applied to the content of a presentation. This difference in meaning appears if we recall the relationship between attributive or determining adjectives on the one hand and modifying adjectives on the other.1
