E1173846
UNEXPLORED

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15742210 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Fregean semantics
Fregean semantics is a theory of meaning in philosophy of language that distinguishes between the sense (Sinn) and reference (Bedeutung) of linguistic expressions to explain how terms can be cognitively significant even when they refer to the same object.
-
B.
Davidsonian semantics
Davidsonian semantics is a theory of meaning in philosophy of language that uses Tarski-style truth conditions for sentences to explain how linguistic understanding arises from a systematic, compositional account of truth.
-
C.
Millian semantics
Millian semantics is a theory of meaning in philosophy of language that holds that the meaning of a proper name is nothing more than its referent, without any associated descriptive content.
-
D.
Semantical Considerations on Modal Logic
Semantical Considerations on Modal Logic is a landmark philosophical paper by Saul Kripke that helped found possible-worlds semantics and revolutionized the study of modal logic.
-
E.
Kripke semantics
Kripke semantics is a framework in modal and non-classical logic that interprets formulas via possible worlds and accessibility relations to model notions like necessity, possibility, and intuitionistic truth.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
