My time in Budapest has convinced me even more so of the validity of my ideas about use, understanding, and meaning in language. These ideas are explained in a not incomprehensible way in an essay I wrote for Philosophy of Language (Interterm 2004) at Tabor called "Use, Understanding, and Meaning". There are some points at which this paper needs significant improvement, but as it stands it gives a pretty clear picture of my thoughts on these issues. Perhaps the weak points will receive further attention in the coming months.
