Dummett I 117
Content of consciousness: private: fragrance, melody, name, "idea" (no background necessary) -but not:
concepts, thoughts, sense (public).

DummettVsSaussure: mimics this by mechanistically describing the transmission of sound - language as code.
I 118
Meaning/Grasping/DummettVsSaussure: too simple explanation, like periodic pain. - We would then also need an explanation of what it means to use this concept. - E.g. if someone knows nothing about trees, it does not help to say that every time he heard the word concept would enter his mind.

>Holism, >Complex, >Compositionality.
