Paul Churchland on Translation - Dictionary of Arguments
Fodor IV 191 Churchland: Semantic identity originates from the special place in the network of semantically relevant sentences (namely from the whole language). Translation: therefore, we can also speak of the equality of sentences over languages. --- IV 192 Equivalent expressions occupy the same (corresponding) places in the corresponding network of the other language. Nevertheless, the translation should always take account of the observability._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
