On Meaning, Meaning and Meaning
2005AbstractTo understand how language works, one must first look to the cooperative functions that various language forms perform, understanding these on a biological model as what these forms accomplish that keeps them in circulation. Next, one should look at language mechanics, at how language forms perform their functions, and especially to the ...

Sharing Meanings about Embodied Meaning
The Journal of Speculative Philosophy, 2008There is a motivation behind many contemporary projects in philosophy to restore the body?traditionally denigrated, ignored, or both?to a place of significance. Given philosophy's recent focus on language and perennial interest in the very nature of thought, one consequence of this body-centered inquiry is the recognition of how embodiment shapes both ...

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 ...

Literal meaning, conventional meaning and first meaning
Erkenntnis, 1994Literal meaning is often identified with conventional meaning. In ‘A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs’ Donald Davidson argues (1) that literal meaning is distinct from conventional meaning, and (2) that literal meaning is identical to what he calls ‘first meaning’.

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,

Utterer’s Meaning, Sentence-Meaning, and Word-Meaning
1968My aim in this paper is to throw light on the connection between (a) a notion of meaning which I want to regard as basic, viz. that notion which is involved in saying of someone that by (when) doing such-and-such he meant that so-and-so (in what I have called a non-natural sense of the word ‘meant’), and (b) the notions of meaning involved in saying (i)

Word meaning, sentence meaning, and syntactic meaning
2003The lexicon has long been assumed to be the source of all conceptual content expressed by sentences. Syntactic structures have correspondingly been seen only as providing instructions for the assembly of the concepts expressed by words. Under this view, sentences have meaning, but the syntactic structures which sentences instantiate do not.

In many situations we are faced with two numbers 0 ˂ a ≤ b as values of some variable and we are forced to produce a compromise value which in some way is intermediate between a and b

That we must address the issue of what it means for something to mean something else shows in itself that the answer is not obvious. Indeed, philosophers of language spend the better part of their time on this very question. At the same time, the simplest man can use language and he knows just exactly what he means by the things that he says.
