Primes

• Compositionality
  • Frege's foundational formulation (1892) establishes that the meaning of "the King of France is bald" is determined by its constituent parts and combination rules—a classic demonstration of compositional semantics.

    This source(Eng.: 'On Sense and Reference.') The originating sense/reference distinction; the founding text behind Frege's Principle that a complex expression's meaning is fixed by its parts and their combination.

• Representation
  • Operational use: operations on the medium correspond to operations on the target — rotating a map head-up rotates the encoded spatial relations; multiplying matrices composes the represented linear transformations; rearranging algebraic symbols manipulates the represented mathematical relations

    This sourceThe originating treatment of the sense / reference distinction in formal semantics; the founding text of modern philosophy of language and a structural template for the target / medium / mapping triple in representational analysis.)

• Signifier–Signified Duality
  • Modern philosophy of language oscillates between them.

    This sourceFrege Russell reference sense denotation formal semantics linguistic meaning.

Domain-specific

• Frege's Puzzles
  • A semantics that assigns only the ordinary referent to each name appears to predict more equivalence than competent speakers actually display.
• Sense and Reference
  • “Reference,” “denotation,” “meaning,” and “significance” are competing translations of Bedeutung; the canonical English title fixes one translation convention without resolving every exegetical question.
