Description

Автор: Не указан 2005. - 63 p.Meaning has been studied for thousands of years and has been described in a variety of ways by scholars. Plato believed that words or phrases related directly to the actual objects they pick out. Aristotle was of the opinion that relationship between words and the world is indirect, mediated by social convention. Gottlob Frege drew a distinction between the sense of a linguistic expression and its reference (the thing in the world that it picks out). So the meaning of a natural language expression is equivalent to both sense and reference; for example, the phrases ‘the morning star’ and ‘the evening star’ have different senses, but both have the same reference – namely, the planet Venus. Given this backdrop we find various theories of meaning which have been proposed to discuss the notion of meaning.
