Extension/tradition: e.g. in the Fregean tradition, extensions of sentences are truth values. - Lewis: new: instead: extensions are functions of indices on truth values - N.B.: these functions are suitable >intensions, but unsuitable extensions for sentences - they are suitable only for names.
IV 258
Object/extension/Lewis: a given object is neither extension nor intention by itself - e.g. one can say in a metameta language that one and the same thing is both, the intention of the expression in the object language "my hat" and the extension of the meta language expression "intention of "my hat"".
Nevertheless, some entities can only serve as extensions, while others - e.g. functions of indices - can serve as both - but there is no thing that would be inappropriate to be an extension.
