Synonymy/Reality/World/Language/Cresswell: the knowledge of some synonyms does not tell us anything about the relation between language and the world - and it is about that when we study meaning.
>Language, >World, >World/thinking, >Reality, >Foundation, >Observation, >Observation language, >Observation sentence.
Equality of meaning is not suitable for definition.
>Meaning.
II 106
Synonymy/Cresswell: is language-relative - therefore, we cannot say for the attribution of propostional attitudes: "He expressed a sentence that is synonymous with ...".
>Language dependence.
II 161
Synonymy/Cresswell: is attractive for people who do not want any language-independent meanings - But that would not be a real semantic relation. No one has hitherto attempted a recursive specification of a synonymy relation.
Synonymy: is always relative to a particular language - ((s) That means you cannot assume any more propositions.)
>Propositions.
QuineVsSynonymy: you cannot create identity criteria for language.
>Synonymy/Quine.},
