The notion is pervasive, but elusive and subject to conflicting desiderata: it is bound to be hyperintensional, but excessive fine-graining would trivialize it. Conceptual limitations stand in the way of a natural algebra, and it should be sensitive to subject matters. Besides, a cognitively adequate individuation of content may be intransitive due to \u2018dead parrot\u2019 series: sequences of sentences \u03c61, . . . , \u03c6n where adjacent \u03c6i and \u03c6i+1 are cognitive synonyms while \u03c61 and \u03c6n are not. But finding an intransitive account is hard! In particular, a result by Leitgeb shows that it wouldn\u2019t satisfy a minimal compositionality principle.<br \/>\nIn spite of this mess, we come up with a formal semantics, thereby showing that the notion is coherent. Then we re-assess the desiderata in its light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Franz Berto (University of St Andrews &amp; University of Amsterdam)<br \/>\nDate and Time: Thursday, November&nbsp;10th 2022, 16:30-18:00<br \/>\nVenue: ILLC seminar room F1.15 in Science Park 107 and online.<br \/>\nTitle: Cognitive Synonymy: a Dead Parrot?<br \/>\nJoint work with Levin Hornischer (University of Amsterdam).<br \/>\nAbstract.
