|Abstract||Two-dimensional approaches to semantics, broadly
understood, recognize two "dimensions" of the meaning or content
of linguistic items. On these approaches, expressions and their
utterances are associated with two different sorts of semantic
values, which play different explanatory roles. Typically, one
semantic value is associated with reference and ordinary truth-
conditions, while the other is associated with the way that
reference and truth-conditions depend on the external world. The
second sort of semantic value is often held to play a
distinctive role in analyzing matters of cognitive significance
and/or context-dependence| |Keywords||No keywords specified (fix
