Our ordinary ways of talking and thinking about the contentfulness of linguistic utterances and mental states distinguish between what is said or thought and what we are thereby talking or thinking about. l Intentionality, we may say, comes in two flavors: 'that' intentionality and 'of intentionality. A central semantic task in the area where the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind overlap is accordingly to offer an account of how these two dimensions of sapience are related to one another.
