Gramatyka “różnicy ontologicznej” (metajęzykowe uwagi do tematu ontologii Martina Heideggera)

The article deals with the linguistic involvement of ontological thought and, in particular, with the syntactical novelty of Heidegger’s philosophy. The author explores this using the philosophical-linguistic studies of Charles H. Kahn and Heidegger’s metalinguistic remarks about the transitivity of the verb “to be”. The first part considers the classical work of Kahn, particularly his classification of the various uses of the verb “to be” in ancient Greek. The second part examines both Heidegger’s idea of the “ontological difference” and the neo-syntactical use of the verb “to be”, which is a linguistic expression of the difference. The main intention of the article is the “literalization” of the idea of the “ontological difference” by means of grammatical analysis.
