Abstract

The target paper by Massimo Warglien, Peter Gardenfors and Matthijs Westera (henceforward, WGW) sketches a promising approach to what is perhaps the greatest lacuna in linguistic semantics. On the one hand, the Frege/Montague research program, based on the idea that truth-conditions are the core ingredient of clause meaning and that meanings of complex expressions are computed from the meanings of the parts, has been extremely successful. On the other, it did not really address the central question: What, precisely, are the meanings of the smallest parts, the meanings of words, or rather, lexemes?
