Rfv-sense:
I find it difficult to distinguish between these two definitions:
1. (logic, linguistics, semiotics) The primary, literal, or explicit meaning of a word, phrase, or symbol; that which a word denotes, as contrasted with its connotation; the aggregate or set of objects of which a word may be predicated.
5. (semiotics) The surface or literal meaning encoded to a signifier, and the definition most likely to appear in a dictionary.
A merger, perhaps? --Hekaheka (talk) 03:56, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
