| Meaning: Differs from the reference object (reference). The object does not have to exist for an expression to have a meaning. Words are not related to objects in a one-to-one correspondence. There is an important distinction between word meaning and sentence meaning. See also use theory, sentence meaning, reference, truth, meaning theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

G. Frege on Meaning - Dictionary of Arguments
Husted V 103 Def "Sense" (meaning) of the sentence: the sense of the sentence is its truth condition. - - - II 41 Meaning: the meaning is what the sign signifies, e.g. the planet Venus, the extension. It is that what one wants to talk about. >Extension. II 42 Sense: the sense is the way of givenness, e.g. the meaning of "the intersection of b and c" is other than "a and b" (even though the point is identical). Significance is illuminated only one-sidedly by the sense. >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Intension, >Sense. II 42 Example: “The celestial body that is farthest away from the Earth”. There is no doubt that these words have a meaning but it is uncertain if there is an object satisfiying it. >Reference. II 69 The "meaning" of a name is never a concept (predicate) but always a subject. II 43 Meaning/sense/Frege: meaning and sense are not the same. The meaning of a word or name is a real object. Sense: is not based on a person like an idea, e.g. there is a sense of "par excellence". See also Fregean Sense, >Imagination._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
