J. Fodor on Denotation - Dictionary of Arguments
II 117 Theory of Denotation/formal languages/Fodor: the theory of denotation of the formal semantics does not reflect denotation in the specific language properly. Therefore, the real problems do not appear in the formal languages. >Formal language. Designation theory: in two parts: 1) A set of rules specifies the designates for the individual constants and predicates in the vocabulary. 2) A second set determines the concept true in L for the sentences by a recursive. In this second set there is usually a rule that defines a necessary and sufficient condition for the truth of every elementary sentence (Snow is white...). Denotation/Fodor: denotation cannot grasp the problems of denotation in natural languages, e.g. "I want to be Pope" does not refer to the Pope, e.g. "I would like to meet the Pope": refers to the Pope, e.g. the checkered dress: can refer to the darker dress. >Vocabulary, >Constants, >Predicates, >Rules, >Conditions, >Reference._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
