Some Notes on the Methodology of Semantics}, journal = {Organon F}, volume = {19}, number = {3}, year = {2012}, pages = {325-337}, type = {State}, abstract = {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.}, keywords = {language, language-model, meaning, methodology, model of meaning}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2012/3/325-337.pdf}, author = {Bielik, Luk{\'a}{\v s}} }
