DO LINGUISTIC MEANINGS MEET LINGUISTIC FORM?^* * I would like to thank the special editors of Manuscrito for inviting me to comment Duffley’s work and, of course, Patrick Duffley for all I have learnt from his book. I am also grateful to two anonymous reviewers. If this brief note is readable, it is thanks to my colleague and friend, Eleonora Orlando, who provided myriad of style suggestions. As usual, Verónica Ferri did an excellent job proofreading this paper.

Abstract

In this brief note, I offer some considerations to the effect of arguing (i) that Duffley's criticism to formal semantics is based on a dogma about the proper nature of the linguistic sing, and (ii) that, even when I agree with the general spirit of his realizational theory of meaning, an explicit theory of how syntax affects meanings realization is missing.

Keywords:
Meaning; Formal Semantics; Allosemy
