In [[Carnap (1937c)|“The Logical Syntax of Language”]] (1934, English Tran. 1937), Carnap formulates the distinction between analytic and synthetic statements in a boarder context of linguistic frameworks. For Carnap, a linguistic framework of science is comprised of two kinds of rules:[[CiteRef::Friedman (2002)]]
By defining the rules of the framework, Carnap is able to give a syntactic formulation of logical consequence, where L-rules are logically determined and are independent of experience and defined as analytic a priori. Statements that are not logically determined are defined as synthetic statements.[[CiteRef::Murzi (2017)]] This formulation builds on the analytic/synthetic distinction made in the Aufbau, using a different taxonomy.
