Slovak logician Pavel Cmorej has recently opened up the question of the nature of logical analysis of natural language in a new way. He shows, for example, that attributing meaning to some meaningful language expression is an a priori and analytic statement, if a language is examined as a given. This is because a meaningful expression is best conceived as a pair consisting of a semi-expression and an assigned meaning. I show that these claims as well as many other observations are fully compatible with the late Czech philosopher and logician Pavel Tichy's specific concept of language as a code system.
Stephen Schiffer's paradox of meaning shows that both Fregean and Russellian explanations of the individuals in thoughts-propositions are questionable. The author argues that it is Pavel Tichý's semantical system, which offers a viable middle way between the extremes of the above mentioned approaches, solving the Schiffer's paradox.
