P1.2.2.1 DIMENSIONS GENERALLY ..(R192 to R199)

-->[[dimensions]]

<-- "Size" R192 mixes size generally and largeness of size. We break out size generally as a separate category, and make largeness and smallness as subtypes. Largeness and smallness of size, here, are distingushable from largeness and smallness of quantity, in the abstract section (R31 and 32), but are nevertheless used commonly to refer to mental phenomena. In this classification, we have to consider the use of dimensional adjectives in the mental world as a metaphorical usage. This is not entirely satisfactory, but probably valid. [[size]] -->
