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.
-

Frege’s system in "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik"
Frege’s system in "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik" is a foundational logical framework for arithmetic based on second-order logic and Basic Law V, whose inconsistency—revealed by Russell’s paradox—marked a turning point in the development of modern logic and set theory.
-
C.
From a Logical Point of View
From a Logical Point of View is a landmark collection of philosophical essays by W.V.O. Quine that helped reshape analytic philosophy, especially through its critique of the analytic–synthetic distinction and its naturalized approach to epistemology.
-
D.
On Interpretation

-
E.
The Logical Structure of the World
