Lecture III explains the 'behavioural' and associative role of signs, introduces the notion of 'field of representation', and describes a special sort of representation based on isomorphism. Lectures IV and V discuss two theories of linguistic meaning: the 'expressivist' view, according to which an object is used as a linguistic expression if it is employed in order to convey information, and the 'associationistic' view, according to which a linguistic expression must be capable of evoking thoughts in the mind of the addressee. The criteria are regarded as both too broad and too narrow. Lectures VI-VIII present a more sophisticated semantic theory based on Husserl's distinction between 'presenting content' and intention. Ajdukiewicz points out that it does not take into account the compositional aspect of linguistic expressions.</p> ER -
