The critique of the concept of analyticity undertaken by Quine in 'Two Dogmas of Empiricism' met with various objections. In particular, he was criticized for certain alleged inconsistency. He was ready to accept an intra-linguistic definition of truth as truth-in-L for any established language L, but at the same time he required that the general notion of analyticity were conceived inter-linguistically and unrelativized to any language in question. The author attempts to defend Quine against this attack. He assumes that definitions are instruments introduced with a view to a purpose they should serve. It is essential therefore to find out what purpose was to be served by the introduction of the concept of analyticity by those authors who used it. The author tries to answer this question and focuses on the problem whether an intra-linguistic definition of analyticity serves the required function. Then he goes on to inquire if the inter-linguistic definition of truth serves its function. He argues in the end that the negative answer to the former question and the positive answer the latter are right and save Quine from the objections.

This paper is on the sources of knowledge. Beginning with the distinction of sources of knowledge in the genetic and methodological sense, and following Ajdukiewicz, a scheme of a more detailed analysis is outlined. As a result, apriorism and aposteriorism are divided into moderate and radical. The author offers a defense of moderate aposteriorism as the most proper epistemological solution. To argue for moderate aposteriorism requires a re-interpretation of the analytic/synthetic distinction that was attacked by Quine. However, there is a possibility of a reconciliation between naturalism and semantic holism -the views that were simultaneously held by Quine - and the dualism of analytic and synthetic sentences. This possibility is provided by a wide understanding of analyticity. On this approach a priori sentences are identified with analytic statements. However, although the laws of logic can be considered as absolute analyticals, no a priori sentences are absolute. The distinction is explained by the concept of apriorization. Finally, the status of logic is investigated in frameworks of aposteriorism. In consequence, no conflict arises between the thesis that all knowledge is derived from experience and the view that all logic is certain.

Tendencies towards analyticity are also reflected in the use of the prepositional genitive construction instead of the genitive form without a preposition with the possessive meaning. As for the generalization about the construction with the preposition 'od' ( of ) for the expression of possessive meanings - including the cases where the standard language has a typical genitive without the preposition or the possessive adjective - particular expansion was noted in the periphery of the Serbian dialect area ( certain Zeta-Sjenica vernaculars, the vernacular of the jekavians from Lika ), that is in the area where a stronger influence of the existing related structures is possible because of the contact with non-Slavic languages. We are here discussing the vernaculars which otherwise preserve the synthetic way of expressing cases. On the other hand, the expansion of the sphere with the use of this construction in the Kosovo-Resavski vernaculars represents a result of the impact of analytic constructions which came and are coming from the south-east direction, from the territory of the highly balkanized Serbian vernaculars. Still, the complete and more realistic insight into the situation related to the analytic phenomena in the Serbian vernaculars, including the situation of the analyzed phenomenon from the aspect of language analyticity, could be expected only in the future - when the list of syntactic characteristics of our vernaculars is far more complete.
