E.g. "bewitched": such a term has no meaning, its only meaning is its intension. ((s) Intension here: personal reasons for use). N.B.: that an expression has no meaning must be discovered empirically. It cannot be known a priori. >Picture theory, >Language, >Presentation. I 198 Identity/Meaning/Picture/Millikan: The meaning of "A is B" requires that "A" and "B" map to the lowest word types that have a special relation to each other, namely that they have the same referent. Problem: the focused stabilizing function of "A is B" is not to produce inner terms in the listener that map words! Representation: this is the reason why "A is B" is an intentional icon, it is not a representation. Referent: do "A" and "B" have referents? So far we've talked about something that needs to be here, and that is the real value so that it works normally. >Terminology/Millikan. I 199 Real value: must be defined beforehand by the content of the rest of the icon or sentence. Real value: from "A": is the word type "A". And this is not determined by the content, but only by the form of the rest of the sentence. Picture/Identity/Reference/Millikan: no one who passed through Carnap's school would assume that "A" refers to the word "A". Reference/Millikan: here we have to distinguish two types of reference. >Reference/Millikan.}, note = { Millikan I R. G.
