Picture/Meaning/Millikan: Expressions of the public language are often handed down for reasons that have nothing to do with their mapping function.
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.

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.
