Gottlob Frege on Denotation - Dictionary of Arguments

Berka I 387
Designate/denote/meaning/Frege: ("sense and meaning"): denotation has a two-dimensional semantics. It identifies designation and meaning function (because of a lack of content in logic.)
denote
sense < ----(express)---- name ----(mean)---- > meaning

>Sense
, >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Meaning; cf. >Twodimensional semantics.

Frege/Berka: Frege thus equates designating with meaning.
Frege I 87
Variable/designating/designation/denotationFrege: "x" designates nothing. X only indicates numbers. Hence, e.g. "x² + 3x" designates nothing. The entire function only indicates. By contrast, "sin" (sine) is a sign which designates but it is still no law! A lawis : e.g., "y = sin x".
