Notes
Whether homographic homonyms (“a light task,” “tolight a pipe”) should best be considered as one word or two is not in point.
In an unpublished essay on cognitive meaning.
See my “Pictorial truth,”Philosophical Studies, 4: 17-23 (1953).
In Tempest's London 1709 edition of theIconologia, No. 20, pp. 5-6.
Among the most important of these are odd-aspect icons and icons of unfamiliar objects.
This remark must not be understood in any sense as a reduction of the pictorial presentation itself, let alone of its esthetic value, to the level of mere reference. These points are not in question here.
