Jean-Gérard Rossi, « Considérations logico-philosophiques sur la synonymie », Langages, ID : 10.3406/lgge.1997.2136
One observes a certain scepticism among most philosophers of logic regarding synonymy. This is perhaps because they are generally too demanding in the determination of a criterion of synonymy. Should the relation of synonymy thus be weakened or else should its domain of application be restricted to certain contexts, certain language games or certain possible worlds ? This, it would seem, is the fundamental question today.
