Abstrakt
As a first kind of elementary analysis, we shall consider attempts to describe hypotheses assumed to be expressed by synonymity sentences. As analysts we read synonymity sentences and, in most cases, make the tentative assumption that they were produced with assertive intent. We are sometimes interested in finding out something about what they assert, that is, what the sender intended when sending a definite instance of a synonymity sentence, what a certain synonymity sentence mostly has been intended to express, how certain receivers have interpreted the sentence and so on. To avoid looking for exact meanings where there are none, we may feel compelled to undertake an investigation of definiteness of intention.
