Putnam III 201ff
Reference/Wittgenstein: e.g. "my brother in America" - a tendency to present a picture - we suggest that reference is not causal. We do imagine more than an experience of thinking. >Picture, >Picture theory.
Putnam: refrencec is not causal: we can also refer to future things (then causal reference to a type "future generations").
Putnam III 205/6
Instead of knowledge by acquaintance/description there are just different ways of reference (causality is irrelevant). >Acquaintance, >Knowledge, >Descriptions.

Tetens VII 81
Language/Border/Tractatus/Tetens: sentences about the language are on a "meta-level" tautology e.g. instances of the Tarski scheme.
Tetens: in the end all we have left is to carry out the act of referring to facts. We cannot ensure this through ever more sentences and surpass them.
We cannot leave our language. How the reference succeeds is shown in the execution of the statements.
Saying/Pointing/Tractatus/Tetens: have a double face. >Ostension.
