There is a long tradition in the philosophy of explaining the
concept of meaning in terms of reference of the thing that our sign
signifies. At the latest since Wittgenstein, meaning has been
explained with the formula meaning=use, where one distinguishes
between how one uses something and for what purpose one uses
something. The author shows that this dichotomy between the how and
the purpose of use can be unified. He does this by first
investigating the concept of the purpose of use and then
reconstructs the use-how by means of the concept of convention.
Finally, the author demonstrates how to traditional referential
semantics can be justified on the basis of the theory developed
here."
