Extension (semantics)

In any of several fields of study that treat the use of signs — for example, in linguistics, logic, mathematics, semantics, semiotics, and philosophy of language — the extension of a concept, idea, or sign consists of the things to which it applies, in contrast with its comprehension or intension, which consists very roughly of the ideas, properties, or corresponding signs that are implied or suggested by the concept in question. Connotation and extension (semantics) are concepts in logic and semantics.

See Connotation and Extension (semantics)

Extensional and intensional definitions

In logic, extensional and intensional definitions are two key ways in which the objects, concepts, or referents a term refers to can be defined.

See Connotation and Extensional and intensional definitions

Intension

In any of several fields of study that treat the use of signs—for example, in linguistics, logic, mathematics, semantics, semiotics, and philosophy of language—an intension is any property or quality connoted by a word, phrase, or another symbol. Connotation and intension are concepts in logic and semantics.

See Connotation and Intension

Literal and figurative language

Meaning (philosophy)

In philosophymore specifically, in its sub-fields semantics, semiotics, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and metasemanticsmeaning "is a relationship between two sorts of things: signs and the kinds of things they intend, express, or signify".
