BEUCHOT PUENTE, Mauricio  and  SANTAMARIA-VELASCO, Freddy. ON ANALOGIC REFERENCE. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.51, pp.311-330. ISSN 0120-1263.

Mainly because of the work of Gottlob Frege, philosophy of language seems to have inherited the pair sense (Sinn)/reference (Bedeutung) as the main aspects of the problem of meaning. Therefore, in a normal situation, a sign has, first of all, a sense which directs towards a reference or referent. As a result, sense is what one acquires when understanding an expression and a referent is the aspect of the real world to which the former directs. Motivated by the crucial problem of the relation between signs and objects, the aim of the following paper is to make use of the idea of analogy in the context of the semantic problem of reference.

Keywords : Reference; Sense; Analogy; Meaning; Hermeneutics.
