"Sense" and "reference" are concepts in the philosophy of language, particularly associated with the work of the German philosopher Gottlob Frege. They help to explain how language relates to the world and how meaning is conveyed through words and phrases. 1. **Sense (Sinn)**: The sense of an expression is the mental concept or idea that it conveys. It is how the referent (the actual object, person, or concept that the expression stands for) is understood in the mind.
