%0 Journal Article %J Organon F %D 2012 %T How to Assess Theories of Meaning? Some Notes on the Methodology of Semantics %A Bielik, Lukáš %K language %K language-model %K meaning %K methodology %K model of meaning %X 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. %B Organon F %V 19 %P 325-337 %U http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2012/3/325-337.pdf %9 State %2 Papers %3 325337
