Abstract
The article deals with the interpretation of the concept of logical constants at the time of logical atomism by Russell and Wittgenstein, the Vienna Circle, and also in modern logic. A thesis is advanced that philosophical discussions with respect to this concept resulted in the conclusion that the syntactic expressive means of logical languages were suitable for formulating semantic concepts. We show that the analysis of the concept of logical constants played an important role in the semantic tradition of analytic philosophy.
