Meaning
The sense of a word that can be expressed in a
definition (see LSD)
Some words can be defined apart from a referent,
though they may have a referent in a particular context
E.g., twelve” can be defined as a number indicating a
specific quantity, but there is no referent unless it is
used in a context that mentions, e.g., “the Twelve” =
the disciples)
