Comparability is preserved even in the quasi-translation, not in a literal. >Comparability, >Translation. Sententialism/sententionalism/Field: Thesis: When we say someone says that snow is white, we express a relation between the person and the set of 1st quasi- translation and quasi- meaning rather than literal 2nd "La neige est blanche" quasi-means the same as #snow is white#. ((#): What stands between #, is to be "quasi-translated".) In the quasi-translation, the quasi-meaning is obtained. II 167 Intentional meaning/Field: Intentional meaning is completely empty – E.g. Suppose we wanted a theory of intentional meaning, then we also needed one of their combinations. – We also need a theory of the corresponding truth conditions. >Speaker intention, >Intention-based semantics, >Truth conditions. Problem: if we set up a theory here, it is not completely trivial, that the intentional meaning of "Plato" is just Plato! - We need an extra explanation. - That would solve nothing. – It would only bring problems. >Meaning (Intending). Better instead: a compositional theory of expressions (not of meanings). >Compositionality, >Expressions.}, note = { Field I H.
