 It is clear that the meanings of complex expressions depend on the individual meanings of their parts. Thus, the only chance for (C\(_{\textit{coll}}\)) to be true is if the collective meaning of constituents (whatever that might be) determines each of the individual meanings of constituents. This is certainly so on Fine’s view: he thinks the meaning of ‘Cicero is Cicero’ depends on its structure (this is why it is not synonymous with ‘Is Cicero Cicero?’), on the individual meanings of its constituents (this is why it is not synonymous with ‘Cicero is Caesar’), and in addition on the intended co-reference relation between the subject and the object, which is an aspect of the collective meaning of its constituents (this is why it is not synonymous with ‘Cicero is Tully’).
