I 101
Functional definition/Schiffer: when the true-of-relation is a functional relation, it is "defined" in this way, and, indeed in tandem with the reference relation of names to objects.
True-of: Satisfaction.
>Satisfaction, >Truth, >Reference, >Names, >Objects.
But this is no identity relative to a given functional relation and does not analyze the meaning.
>Meaning, >Identity.
I 159
Definition/Schiffer: does not work with open sentences.
>Open sentence.
I 213
Definition/Schiffer: is about equality of meaning, not meaning. - This holds also for the lexicon.
Synonymy, >Lexicon.
It has more to do with mention than with use.
>Mention, >Use.
Understanding: more with use than with mention.
>Understanding.
Problem: E.g. meaning equality does not help in case of e.g. "of" means ... e.g. "dog" means ... e.g. "she gave it to him" means....
>Index words, >Indexicality, >Anaphora.
