ABSTRACT
In this chapter, author discusses what he/she regard as the substantial points in Professor Ryle's paper. Ryle suggests that it is the relations of different sorts of meanings to one another which determine the depth-grammar of words, and that these meanings and their relations are matters that must be independently considered if we are to study logical as well as grammatical syntax. Since the suggestion that use and usage, in some acceptable sense, are philosophically very important, certainly underlies Ryle's paper, the author need not apologize for irrelevance in proceeding to demolish this suggestion. The most superb example of the problem-increasing character of the use-semantics is, however, to be found in its treatment of cases where men use expressions without obvious reference to any palpable feature of the public environment, when they give voice, e.g., to recollections or anticipations, or describe their personal feelings or impressions, or report their fantasies or their dreams.
