Add to ORKGIt's sometimes thought that context-invariant linguistic meaning must be a character (a function from context types to contents) i.e. that linguistic meaning must determine how the content of an expression is fixed in context.

In this paper, I explain how communication could proceed even if context-invariant linguistic meaning were not a character
