== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Sense and Reference''' (Sinn und Bedeutung) β (Gottlob Frege, 1892). The "Distinction" between "How" we refer to something (Sense) and "What" we refer to (Reference). * '''Gottlob Frege''' β The "Father" of Modern Logic and Analytic Philosophy: a "German Mathematician" who "Revolutionized" the "Study of Language." * '''Reference''' (Bedeutung) β The "Physical Object" or "Truth Value" that a "Word" or "Sentence" "Points To" (e.g., 'The actual planet Venus'). * '''Sense''' (Sinn) β The "Mode of Presentation": the "Specific Way" the "Reference" is "Thought Of" (e.g., 'The bright light in the morning sky'). * '''Identity Statement''' β A "Sentence" like **"A = B"** (e.g. 'The Morning Star is the Evening Star'). * '''Cognitive Value''' β The "New Information" we "Gain" from a statement (e.g. 'A = A' has no value; 'A = B' does). * '''Proposition''' β The "Abstract Meaning" of a sentence that "Can be True or False." * '''Compositionality''' β The "Principle" that the "Meaning" of a "Complex Expression" is "Determined" by the "Meaning" of its "Parts." * '''Truth Value''' β (See Article 119). The "Reference" of a "Sentence": it is either **"The True"** or **"The False."** * '''Indirect Reference''' β When a "Word" "Refers" to its "Own Sense" (e.g. in 'John believes that...'). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
