Not every occurrence of a word in a sentence is meaningful, that is, not just any occurrence of a word in a sentence contributes to the meaning of that sentence. In other words, not every word is a conceptual component of the sentence in which it occurs. In order for a sign to be a conceptual component of a sentence in which it occurs it must contribute to the meaning of the sentence. A predicate can contribute to the meaning of a sentence only if both possibilities of its occurrence, that is, in the affirmative and the negative, describe possible states of affairs.
2 I address the issue of meaning to create the basis for the discussion. For that purpose I present a limited analysis of the concept of meaning, in order to extract a few general, and as undisputed as possible, characteristics of meaning. In Sect. 3 I develop the conclusions of the previous analysis into a schematic model of the workings of a language. From that model the conditions for a word in a language to have meaning is extracted and explained. In Sect. 4 I develop two important concepts for the assessment of conceptual ties: Conceptual Dimension and Conceptual Basis.
This is so because in its occurrence in the sentence in that manner, the result is a sentence that could not describe any state of affairs. Its occurrence in the other way, on the other hand, cannot contribute to the meaning of that sentence, because its occurrence in that manner designates what is conceptually necessary, which, as I have shown, renders its occurrence superfluous, and therefore it again fails to contribute to the meaning of that sentence. Not every occurrence of a word in a sentence is meaningful, that is, not just any occurrence of a word in a sentence contributes to the meaning of that sentence.
