Target entity: Davidsonian semantics
Context triple: [Truth and Meaning, influenced, Davidsonian semantics]
  • 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. 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.
  • C. On Sense and Reference
    On Sense and Reference is a seminal philosophical essay by Gottlob Frege that distinguishes between the sense (meaning) and reference (denotation) of linguistic expressions, profoundly influencing analytic philosophy and the philosophy of language.
  • D. The Varieties of Reference
    The Varieties of Reference is a highly influential work of analytic philosophy in which Gareth Evans develops a detailed theory of reference, perception, and singular thought.
  • E. “Understanding Demonstratives”
    “Understanding Demonstratives” is a highly influential philosophical paper by Gareth Evans that analyzes how demonstrative expressions (like “this” and “that”) refer to objects in perception and thought.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
