Meaningful Properties and Meaningful relation the scope of semantic theory.

A meaningful properties (Properties of being meaningful) can be defined if it has meaning and is
sensical, provided it is neither anomalous, indeterminable, nor contradictory, Indeterminable

1. Anomaly

Ex: That electron is green.

 The sentence above has been considered to be anomalous because it or its constituents is
thought to be incapable of denoting in any world spoken of, electrons are theoretical
constructs that cannot absorb or reflect light and therefore cannot be predicated as green
 These sentences are judged anomalous because they do not fit the familiar everyday
world
 they do not fit the familiar everyday world

2. Contradiction

Ex: According to the U.S. President Ronald Reagan himself, he is at the moment both 70
and 72.
 The renders above is considered to be indeterminable. Furthermore, it is contradictory
since to predicate someone as 70 is to implicitly deny that they are any other age,
including 72 (and vice versa). Thus a contradiction arises when we have to accept the
logic of being unable to predicate both P and not- P simultaneously of some argument
A

 An indeterminable expression may be contradictor

3. Indeterminable

 An anomalous expression makes the utterance in which it occurs

INDETERMINABLE if it is impossible to figure out from context what the expression
means
 we cannot fathom out what it means.
Ex :
 a. The in anded some thes.
b. This blue and on speak conferenced uply.
c. Peter thated nine an equipment.

Any indeterminable expression is anomalous.' For example, none of sentences above are
determinable

Expressions with more than one meaning

 In traditional semantics it has been usual to distinguish two kinds of ambiguity: Polysemy
and Homonym
 Polysemy

is the property of an expression with more than one meaning. In traditional lexicography a
polysemic word is entered once in the dictionary with its multiple meanings, whereas
unrelated homonyms are each entered separately.

 Homonymy
is the relation between two or more expressions which have the same form but different
meanings. a relation holding between two or more etic expressions that have the same
form but a different meaning
 1. Ambiguity

The ambiguity of a word can be measured by

and Meaningful of Relation separated into six parts parts :

1. Synonymy
2. Homophony
3. Homonym
4. Polysemy
5. Antonymy
6. Inclusion

In this section we will learn to identify how a word is meaningful or not in a language. So from
the pdf text book given by Mr. Rajeg, we can conclude that
