Dialectal synonyms can often be found in different regional dialects such as British English and American English but cannot be found within the variety itself, for example, within British English or American English. 22. Sense is concerned with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience, while the reference deals with the inherent meaning of the linguistic form. 23. Linguistic forms having the same sense may have different references in different situations. 24. In semantics, meaning of language is considered as the intrinsic and inherent relation to the physical world of experience. 25. Contextualism is based on the presumption that one can derive meaning from or reduce meaning to observable contexts. 26. Behaviourists attempted to define the meaning of a language form as the situation in which the speaker utters it and the response it calls forth in the hearer. 27. The meaning of a sentence is the sum total of the meanings of all its components. 28. Most languages have sets of lexical items similar in meaning but ranked differently according to their degree of formality. 29. “It is hot.” is a no-place predication because it contains no argument. 30. In grammatical analysis, the sentence is taken to be the basic unit, but in semantic analysis of a sentence, the basic unit is predication, which is the abstraction of the meaning of a sentence.
