Meaning and meaning fulness in Fries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2016
Extract
This paper is an attempt to deal with some of the things C. C. Fries has to say about meaning and to offer criticisms of the meaningfulness of some of the words and concepts he introduces and dismisses. This requires a good deal of preliminary work which, however, also has the merit of showing the sort of systematic error I would claim Fries makes.
