| Inferential role: the inferential role is the variation potential that linguistic expressions have within conclusions. The reference to truth thus emerges only indirectly in the evaluation of the overall argumentation and not every speaker is aware of this. See also Inferential content, Inferences, Inferentialism, R. Brandom, cf. Conceptual role, Roles._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Ned Block on Inferential Role - Dictionary of Arguments
Fodor IV 168 Inferential Role/Coextension/Inference/Block: Thesis: the inferential role of coextensive expressions can differ. Thus, the theory of the conceptual role can distinguish between e.g. morning star/evening star, or between "Cicero" and "Tullius". (Intension/Extension). I.e. it is fine-grained enough. Block knows, however, that this is not guaranteed. See also >Morning Star/Evening Star, >fine grained/coarse grained._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
