What Does Inferentialism Mean?

Inferential role semantics is an approach to the theory of meaning that identifies the meaning of an expression with its relationship to other expressions, in contradistinction to denotationalism, according to which denotations are the primary sort of meaning.

What's the definition inferential?

1 : relating to, involving, or resembling inference. 2 : deduced or deducible by inference.

What is conceptual role?

Conceptual roles are functional roles minus such non semantic causes and effects. What makes this stronger claim of CRS plausible is the fact that many terms seem definable only in conjunction with one another, and not individually in terms outside of the circle they form.
