| Reference, philosophy: reference means a) the relation between an expression and one or more objects, thus the reference or b) the object (reference object) itself. Terminological confusion arises easily because the author, to whom this term ultimately goes back - G. Frege - spoke of meaning (in the sense of "pointing at something"). Reference is therefore often referred to as Fregean meaning in contrast to the Fregean sense, which describes what we call meaning today. See also meaning, sense, intension, extension. _____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

J.R. Searle on Reference - Dictionary of Arguments
II 289 Reference/Searle: linguistic reference always comes from intellectual terms. >Intentionality. II 313f Names/meaning/reference/Searle: e.g. Goedel/Schmidt: intentional content determines reference: "discoverer, no matter whatever his name is". Here, we are talking about the person who has been recognized by their contemporaries, e.g. exchanged spots: identification: "the spot which causes the experience". Variant forgetting: "the one I was previously able to identify as A". II 316 Twin Earth/reference/Searle: reference cannot rely on >descriptive content, our names still refer to our domestic objects, when the perceptual situation is unchanged. SearleVsPutnam: causal self-referentiality is sufficient. >Twin earth._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
