 Another common strain in much of the theorizing about conceptual representation has been a certain diffidence concerning logical representations and denotational semantics. The relevant semantics of language is said to be the transduction from linguistic utterances to internal representations, and the relevant semantics of the internal representations is said to be the way they are deployed in understanding and thought. For both the external language and the internal (mentalese) representation, it is said to be irrelevant whether or not the semantic framework provides formal truth conditions for them. The rejection of logical semantics has sometimes been summarized in the dictum that one cannot compute with possible worlds.
