AUTHOR(S) OF ARTICLE: Lynn E. Roberts III

This paper gives a historic account of the Analytic-synthetic distinction, which is clear in many places. This paper will highlight the evolution of the conceptual problems caused in linguistics known as the Analytic-Synthetic Distinction, define and distinguish analytic statements from synthetic statements, highlight the most compelling arguments for and against such distinctions, from John Locke, Immanuel Kant, Gotlob Frege, W.V Quine, all the way to the most relevant and current arguments posed by H.P. Grice and Peter F. Strawson. Near the end of this paper, the author will draw some unique conclusions and make some points from the author’s own understanding
