Line 12:
For example, if theology is discourse concerning God, then it must be noted that there is a difference between "God" and the word "God." In relating the definition of logology to the term "theology," it then becomes clear that the correct meaning of theology is not "words about God" but instead "words about the word God."<ref>Burke, Kenneth. "Dramatism And Logology." Communication Quarterly 33.2 (1985): 89-93. Communication & Mass Media Complete. Web. 22 Oct. 2013</ref>
Another use of the word "logology" has been as a [[synonym]] for the equivalent expressions "sociology of science"<ref>Joseph Ben-David and Teresa A. Sullivan, "Sociology of Science", ''[[Annual Review of Sociology]]'', vol. 1, no. 1, 1975, pp. 203–222.</ref> and "science of science"<ref>[http://sci.slis.indiana.edu/ "Science of Science Cyberinfrastructure Portal... at Indiana University"]. Also [[Maria Ossowska]] and [[Stanisław Ossowski]], "The Science of Science", 1935, reprinted in Bohdan Walentynowicz, ed., ''Polish Contributions to the Science of Science'', Boston, D. Reidel Publishing Company, 1982, pp. 82–95).</ref> Here "logology" is [[back-formation|back-formed]] from "-logy" (as in "geo''logy''", "anthropo''logy''", "socio''logy''", etc.), in the sense of the "study of study" or the "science of science".<ref>[[Christopher Kasparek]], "[[Bolesław Prus|Prus]]' ''[[Pharaoh (novel)|Pharaoh]]'': the Creation of a [[Historical Novel]]", ''[[The Polish Review]]'', vol. XXXIX, no. 1, 1994, note 3, pp. 45–46. Also [[:pl:Stefan Zamecki|Stefan Zamecki]], ''Komentarze do naukoznawczych poglądów Williama Whewella (1794–1866): studium historyczno-metodologiczne'' [Commentaries to the Logological Views of [[William Whewell]] (1794–1866): A Historical-Methodological Study], Warsaw, [[Polish Academy of Sciences]], 2012, [English-language] summary, pp. 741–43).</ref> The word "logology", used in this sense, provides convenient grammatical variants not available with the earlier terms, "sociology of science" and "science of science": i.e., "logologist", "to logologize", "logological", "logologically".
