| Research Abstract |
This research showed that the notion of linguistic-independent meaning should be eliminated from the semantics of natural language. The confusion about the notion of homogenization, evoked for the analysis of tautologies of the form X is X, can be dissolved if we do not consider the meaning of the word X to be shared between speakers when X is X is uttered. The normative interpretation of X is not X comes from the conflict between different linguistic systems.
