| Sumario: | The article provides information about the variabilism in names and pronouns. The author proposed that names and pronouns have uniform semantic analysis which is the variables. Variabilism contains a semantic piece confirming that the reference of names can be controlled in the course of the compositional derivation of truth conditions. The term names are variables also signifies that names are directly referential and nondescriptive. Names can be also nonconstant and can be changed from default value set through context. |
