"Frege's doctrines on sense (Sinn): the case of verbal tense and temporal expressions"
Seminar on Language and Communication
In this talk I will offer an interpretation of Frege's semantic doctrines and of their evolution from the Begriffschrift to Der Gedanke. Special attention will be paid to the evolution of the notion of sense (Sinn) and the role of context in Frege's doctrines. I will also try to point out some tensions in Frege's conception of semantic relations. My strategy will be to focus on the way in which Frege conceives of temporal expressions (tense, temporal indexicals, and so on), reference to time and time as part of the expression of thought. Ultimately, I intend to show that the difficulties raised by these expressions are merely a particular instance/s of more general problems in Frege's doctrines. Some samples of recent literature on Frege's views on temporal indexicals will also be discussed.

The research group on Language, Action, and Thought ---at the Institute of Logic, Cognition, Language and Information (ILCLI)--- mostly focuses on the Philosophy of Language and Mind as well as on the Philosophy of Action. Most of its members are philosophers but it also includes linguists, psychologists and logicians.
An important part of our research has evolved around Critical Pragmatics, a theory created and developed by some of us, with applications to the study of linguistic communication, and important assumptions and implications about thought and action.
During the last decade, we have received several grants from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the Basque Government and the Government of Spain.
Address: ILCLI. UPV/EHU. Carlos Santamaria Zentroa.
