Synonymy/meaning/analyticity/Fodor: there is no reason to assume that these concepts can be combined with any invariant property in the behavior of the speakers. But not every central concept of a science must be linked to behavior, e.g. grammar. >Behavior, >Grammar, >Analyticity.
Solution: a behavioral trait that belongs to all and only to the grammatically correct sentences. However, this need does not exist.

IV 57f
Synonymy/analyticity/Fodor/Lepore: synonymy is required when seeking an epistemic criterion of truth: e.g. that is by virtue of meaning. It is even required in case of Humean similarity (e.g. ideas that are similar to the same things are the same ideas) and also with confirmation relationships for truth (Skinner, behaviorism). We have to deliver the truth also with nomological relations (facts over meaning).
>Criterion of truth, >Criteria.
