This paper discusses the basic two-dimensional framework and identifies the requirements to apply it to the phenomena of speech and thought. It then contrasts two kinds of interpretation — two ways of applying the abstract two-dimensional framework — that suggest different pictures of the phenomena Kripke brought to light. It shows what must be assumed about how the problem of intentionality must be solved to sustain the kind of general reduction of necessary a posteriori truth that Jackson and Chalmers propose.
Keywords: conceptual truth, metaphysical necessity, two-dimensional framework, speech, thought, intentionality,
