 While there have been some attempts to make the distinction without buying into the analytic/synthetic distinction, or to argue that some version of the analytic/synthetic distinction isn’t that bad after all (Boghossian 1996, 2001, 2003; Devitt 1996; Horwich 2005; Pacherie 1994; Peacocke 1995, 1997; Russell 2008), such views remain controversial, and an obvious way to avoid the slippery slope into meaning holism is to not even make the first step towards molecularism and just keep one’s semantics atomistic (Fodor and Lepore 1992).
