Mean overall RTs during the dual task blocks of the ASRT (Figure 2C) were significantly longer in the math condition (Mean = 447.22, SD = 55.54) than in the sentence comprehension (Mean = 421.71, SD = 39; p = 0.01) and word processing tasks (Mean = 414.71, SD = 49.41; p = 0.03), while we found no differences between the sentence and word conditions (p = 0.34).
The Principle of Tolerance requires that, for any language, there be a clear difference between the analytic sentences of the language and its synthetic sentences.
The difference between the "narrative sentences" of a historical account and the time-free statements of a scientific one show that philosophers of history can never hope to reduce the first to the second (unless they stop doing history).

A marginally significant main effect of Emotion (F 4, 88) = 2.67, p = .057) was found, indicating waveform differences between the different sentences.
However, note that these frequency differences could, if at all, only cause a bias (cf. [74]) in the form of differences between the individual sentence pairs (i.e. vowel quality conditions).
To see the difference between the two approaches, consider the sentence A term logician would have regarded \(\refp{moby}\) as composed of a subject term ("boat") and a predicate term ("thing smaller than Moby Dick") joined together in a universal affirmative categorical form.
That is, at this level of delicacy, the sentences that are grouped together are described in the same way.2 When we make more delicate choices, and thus less abstract choices, differences between these sentences emerge: (4a).
Yet while the difference between a sentence of 30 years and one of life in prison also carries much symbolism, there is no sentence commensurate with the crimes.
