reference and meaning The distinction between "reference
" and has taken "important
" a term that Frege was, for the emergence of analytic philosophy terribly important. To date, students learn philosophy, this distinction using the example of the planet Venus: Sometimes you see these very bright evening "star" and called it "evening star", sometimes you see a particularly bright star in the morning to the "morning star" calls. "Evening Star" and "Morning Star" have different meanings. They refer (refer) to the same: the same planet, the same rock lumps out there in space. This is the reference of the two terms. You have to not know that the reference is the same!
Another example: "the daughter of B.," "the wife of F.", "the sister of T.", "dog trainer the other day about this article in the newspaper stand," the author this blog "-.... these terms all have the same reference point to the same person (me) mean, but they have different things
I think about it often for when I talk while walking with Habca Like most people who talk to dogs I express often the desire of that she should take a certain posture. I see the majority of them (have the desire as many common words) as a kind of gymnastics (she remains mentally and physically agile) and vocabulary, classically would be such a thing as "subordination" call. You can see the insane psychologically charged, then the question is whether the dog has a correct "foot" position takes the measure of the relationship and "respect" for the dog to have for me. You see, already, of which I do not really think much. I teach these exercises rather than
Target exercises (see, for example
here ).
I As in any case before yesterday Habca on Preungesheimer fields ran, and sniffing around, and in between I once said "sit" and "place" and "paw" and "role" and "Kommmalher" and "go time up there" and "hop", and I fed her breakfast and the sun was shining and we were both quite relaxed since long time and had pretty much mindless fun miteinader -
as I have ever asked me again what
importance such words probably have Habca. I think some of it mean for target practice, "foot" as is "oppressive side of your shoulder against my leg and look it up at me" for them. Some of them are probably statistical information: Attention, here and there gives equal a biscuit! "Kommmalher" means something like "oh madness, Miriam's index finger has turned back into the feed lever, if you nudge the other hand, comes out food because I have to go!"
The important during training seems to be that man and dog agree about the reference
the words used are. The importance
may be different, seems to me important that what the word means the dog for him something nice, great, feasible.
Sure, a lot of people it intended but eh now abandoned this blog have read to jump on now: "What, it can not all be nice for the dog, who must obey it!" Yes, sometimes you have to "obey" a dog. But that word so we can give new meanings! - And my termination signal, my "No"? Is that too nice for the dog? If in doubt, I put a "No" by also triggering the avoidance behavior. But I'd rather not let it get that far. Dear I want that "No" means the dog: "This strategy does nothing, try something else." Then the way, is also immediately clear that it is not enough if the dog runs to the street, shouting "Habca neeeeeeeein !!!!!", but that I do in such cases, well to the strategy's success brings to say," Habca [= You are meant] no [this behavior does not bring you], here lang [change of direction brings something] ".
A caveat at the end: Please do not get confused with notions of philosophers: What is commonly referred to as reference (also here) is in Frege importance what here and most important is is with him the sense ... The distinction remains the same, varying translations.
pot beat everyone knows who had ever been to a birthday party. For our adventure walk yesterday, which was themed "birthday party", I've considered a variant: Pot smell! 
So, if someone yesterday at the Red Mill was traveling and has wondered why people beat blindfolded and their dogs with a wooden spoon - it was not intentional. ;-)
