Abstract

The issue of meaning has long been a core subject in the Western philosophy of language. Basically there are two canonical traditions of approaching this issue, namely the referential theories of meaning and the mental theories of meaning. The various claims and arguments concerning the issue of meaning are a vivid testimony to our ever-deepening understanding of the relation between words and the world we live in. The fruitful finding on the philosophical meaning makes tremendous contributions to relevant research domain of linguistics.
