| Intensionality: Intensionality is a semantic property of certain expressions that means that their meaning is not determined solely by their reference. E.g., "The morning star" refers to Venus as the object that appears in the sky in the morning, while "the evening star" refers to Venus as the object that appears in the sky in the evening. See also Reference, Meaning, Intensions, Extensions, Extensionality. _____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Logic Texts on Intensionality - Dictionary of Arguments
Hoyningen-Huene II 39 Intensional statement connections/Hoyningen-Huene: linking two partial statements to form an overall statement in such a way that the truth value of the overall statement is not clearly determined by the truth values of the partial statements alone. >Truth value, >Intension, >Extension. Intension: sense of sentence. Extension: independent of the sense of sentence. Intension requires additional knowledge. II 68 Intensional Interpretation/Hoyningen-Huene: Assignment of statements to sentence letters, the same sentence letters must be assigned to the same statements. Extensional Interpretation: Assignment of truth values instead of statements. - - - Read III 254 Infinite sets can only be treated intensionally: as examples of a general concept. III 255 Def Comprehension Principle/Read: each well-defined term defines a set. The antinomies of Burali-Forti and Russell showed that some restriction had to be imposed on it. Nevertheless, when sets are reconstructed from below, the Axioms of Infinity claim the existence of the extension of the terms "natural number" and "real number" as a definite totality. IntuitionismVsComprehension principle: the intuitionist denies this. These terms correspond to operations, i.e. intensional terms. No extensions. - - - Salmon I 252 Intensional definition: linguistic definition. IV 253 Def Explicit definition: Specification of a word or a combination of words with the same meaning. For example "mendacious" = "dishonest", "bachelor" = "unmarried man"._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
