JARAMILLO URIBE, Juan Manuel. The problems of sense-reference in the classic philosophical semantics: two great conceptions in referentialist theories of meaning. discus.filos [online]. 2012, vol.13, n.21, pp.187-205. ISSN 0124-6127.

The introduction of the neologism: 'ontoepistemosemantics', by C. U. Moulines seeks to account for the close links among the ontological, epistemological and semantic reflections. The first philosopher in noting this imbrication was Frege, who gave a special methodological prominence to the latter. In this article, I intend to show and contrast two major theorizations of what, in its beginning, was the 'ontoepistemosemantic' reflection about the meaning-reference of singular terms: the theory of indirect reference of Frege and the theory of direct reference of Russell, at least for what he calls "logically proper names". The purpose is to show that these reflections, undertaken in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, nowadays are an essential referent in any investigation about ontic-ontological, epistemological and semantic issues.

Palabras clave : Frege; ontoepistemosemantics; sense (Sinn); denotation (Bedeutung); Russell; theory of descriptions.
