ABSTRACT

This is a paper about semantic holism. Semantic holism is a doctrine about the philosophically indispensable circumstances for something to have meaning. We therefore instigate our argument by endeavoring to view semantic holism in its philosophical context. The crucial contention of this paper is to resolve some fundamental issues like semantic similarity and dissimilarity, semantic atomism, holism, etc. It is also tries to resolve some issues related to the nature and scope of semantics.

KEYWORDS

semantics, language, sense-reference, understanding, semantic atomism, semantic holism
