There are four major goals for this paper. First, we demonstrate that the logical foundations of standard approaches to language studies involve an incoherence in their presuppositions. Second, we present an alternative approach that resolves this incoherence. Third, we discuss how this error manifests itself in categorial grammars and model-theoretic possible worlds semantics. Fourth, we suggest some possible revisions in standard approaches to accommodate them to the alternative that we suggest. We arrive at a fundamentally functional, or pragmatic, conception - an interactive conception - of the nature of language and meaning. In a paper, such claims and programmatic suggestions can at best be adumbrated, but we aim to show that there are some issues of fundamental importance that need to be pursued.
