I 28f
Frege: sense/meaning.
>Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Sense, >Meaning.
GeachVsRussell: false equivalence with "means"/"denotes" (refers to) in Principia Mathematica(1)
Seeming parallel: a description contains "meaning" (Frege: Sinn) as a component, but not on this sense but about the objects.
The description denotes.
>Denotation, >Description.

Signifiying expression/Russell: general term with a prefix, all, some, etc.
>General terms.
Meaning/Principia Mathematica: two phrases mean the same thing when they maintain the same assumption.
>Meaning/Russell.

Signify/Frege: two sentences mean the same when they have both the same truth value.
>Truth value.

Incomplete symbol/Russell/late: certain descriptions have no meaning.
GeachVsRussell: this is misleading – rather: we do not need a single entity that corresponds to a specific description – E. g "There is a King…".
>Incomplete symbols.
