| Stimulus meaning, philosophy: Stimulus meaning is an expression by W.V.O. Quine (Quine, “Word and Object”, 1960), for what we can conclude from the determination of same linguistic expressions to the same stimuli for equal or changing speakers for the meaning of expressions. For this purpose, the set of reaction-triggering stimuli for a particular expression must be determined. See also Stimulus synonymy, Stimulus analyticity, Stimuli, Indeterminacy, Reference, Gavagai, W.V.O. Quine._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

W.V.O. Quine on Stimulus Meaning - Dictionary of Arguments
I 90 Stimulus meaning independent of number of speakers. Observation proximity: societal: similarity of stimulus meaning within the community - observation proximity: high: colors - low: "bachelor". Translation: independent of stimulus meaning "soltero" = "Bachelor" not because of a certain face - but words are learned first by stimulus meaning, later through abstraction. I 97/98 E.g. Gaurisankar (= back of Mt. Everest): occasion sentences exclude each other, after discovery stimulus meanings belong together. I 102 Distinction singular/General term: independent of stimulus meaning - Name or general term for space-time segments: same stimulus meaning ("rabbitness"). >Singular terms, >General terms, >Proper names. I 102 Abstract/Concrete: is independent of stimulus meaning. I 120 Persistent sentences: stimulus meaning more sparse - accordingly: stimulus synonymy less plumable. > VsAnalyticity. --- VI 22 Stimulus meaning/Quine: blurred at the edges - E.g. black swan. VI 17 Whether a white raven refutes our theories depends on how we would decide given the vague stimulus meaning._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
