Le Page is one of several semanticists at the [[University of Paris]] in the second quarter of the 13th century (others include [[Nicholas of Paris]] and , to a lesser extent, [[Peter of Spain]]), who try to explain how a syncategorematic term has meaning in one sense and in another sense not, by appealing to a distinction between ''significatio generalis'' or signification in general, and ''signification specialis'', or specific signification. A syncategorematic term has only a general signification, which is indefinite until it is determined by the words to which it is attached to. <ref>See Le Page, ''Syncategoremata'', (Braakhuius 1979 I, pp 189-90), Nicholas of Paris (''Syncategoremata'', pp 4, 10, 16, 66-67, 132, 219, 246 and 281), Peter of Spain, ''Syncategoremata'' Braakhuis pp 264, 268.</ref>
