TY - JOUR T1 - How to Assess Theories of Meaning? Some Notes on the Methodology of Semantics JF - Organon F Y1 - 2012 A1 - Bielik, Lukáš KW - language KW - language-model KW - meaning KW - methodology KW - model of meaning AB - The paper presents a two-level approach to an assessment of meaning theories. To begin with, language is distinguished from lan guage-model and, analogously, meaning is discerned from a model of meaning. The first level of a theory assessment is presented as dealing with the relation of a model of meaning to intra-theoretical aims and assumptions of a theory with specific language-model. The second level of assessment concerns ontological, epistemological, logical and other assumptions underlying the respective language-model. Finally, several questions are set forth as methodological directives for elucidating hidden assumptions behind the theories of meaning.
