The Meaning of Means

2016
In the last chapter we used the Markov–Kakutani Theorem to produce for every compact abelian group G an “invariant mean”: a mean in the algebraic dual space of B(G) fixed by the adjoint of every translation map on B(G). The Riesz Representation Theorem then provided a G-invariant, regular, Borel probability measure to represent this mean via ...

Meaning to Mean It

1994
Abstract Murti Pujak Jains insist that it is necessary that one means to mean. This idea was acknowledged by virtually all our informants at the Dadabari temple. At the same time however, there was no confidence that not having meant disqualifies the/?w/« as a, puja.

On the meaning of "but".

Science of Computer Programming, 1991
In this paper, a formalization of exceptions to a general rule is proposed. It builds upon the modularisation of theories proposed by the algebraic specification approach, and preserves its engineering principles: modularity and com- positionality. It relies on a model-theoretic definition of the "but" conjunctive, whose properties and implementations ...

Means for Meaning

2012
There are many different ways to use the term meaning. It is modified by such adjectives as subjective, objective, universal, referential, pragmatic, mathematical, context-bound, context-free, shared, and taken-as-shared, to name a few. Such modifying adjectives could lead one to suspect that the word meaning is not very meaningful or is even ...

The Meaning of ‘Meaning’

2016
This chapter considers whether one can think of the semiotic or ‘musical’ elements in language, particularly in poetry, as meaning-laden in their own terms. The previous chapters have shown how abstract formal elements such as texture and formal proportion can supplement literal, denotative meaning.

Meaning and meanings

2011
I have been arguing for an account of language and of God that will free us from essentialist-correspondentist metaphysics, as well as from the sense of limitation one may feel so long as one remains in the grip of metaphysical assumptions. Toward that end, the previous chapter advanced two lines of argument: first, that concepts are a species of norm,

The Meaning of Meaning

2018
This chapter outlines the semiotic theory presented in Ogden and Richards’ 1923 book The Meaning of Meaning and examines the historical context in which it was written. The motivating concern that runs through the entire book is the establishment of an adequate theory to fight the dangers of ‘word-magic’, the confusions engendered through ignorance of ...
