Jim, (01)
Just an aside: semantics is not equal to ontology. So ways of referring \=
referrents. One typically determines the denotation of the expression to get at
the semantics, which may point initially to the "concepts", which typically are
placeholders for the "referents", i.e., the things in the world. (02)
Thanks,
