The chapter offers an introduction to the notion of linguistic meaning and discusses it from two distinct perspectives: a philosophical perspective, which identifies the meaning of words with their reference, and a linguistic perspective, which identifies the meaning of words with their grammatical relations. The chapter reviews some of the most crucial criticalities of both perspectives and suggests a novel perspective, grounded on a parallel between language and perception.
