Then a language (Ms) with ""p" means that p" is a special case of the language (M) with ""e" (whereby e is a subsentential expression and means, for example, "dog." That is, "<>" is a formal representation of our normal means of meaning attribution. ((s) the expression in tip brackets is our own.) Scheme characters: "p" and "e" here in relation to an individual, i.e. idiolect. >Idiolect, >Speaker meaning, >Speaker intention. II 158 Then "that p as I understand it now" must not be a literal representation. Tip bracket: it cannot be shown that "metacompact" does not mean , even if I do not know exactly what it means. I.e it has a particular epistemic status: it is not empirically doubtful. To say that a word means "rabbit," is simply to say... II 159 ...that it means the same as "rabbit" as I understand it in the actual moment. - ((s) In the actual world, in my idiolect). >Possible worlds, >Actual world, >Language community. II 160 Tip brackets: instead, for sentences, we can also assume that-clauses. II 171 Understanding: For example, if I do not understand "grug", I will not accept the following: "grug" means - and even if I accept it, it would not count as believe. >Content.}, note = { Field I H.
