Abstract

What is interesting in natural language semantics is not so much the class of referents of a term at any particular point in time but rather the dynamics by which this set is changed. In particular, linguists today are intrigued by the interaction of speakers - the mechanism of dialogue. The interesting thing about classification is not that it yields a precise way of using terms derived from a natural language but that it is essentially a different thing than a natural language. The fact that artificially constructed classes may - and should - have names rather than code symbols as identifiers may confuse this issue
