    This PhD-thesis contributes to the project of analysing the intensional semantic vocabulary of natural and formal languages. It participates in the quest for clues to an age-old question: Under which circumstances are expressions meaningful or have a meaning? Especially in the past two centuries philosophers like Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap, and Quine tried to find answers. In the present proposal a consistent set of principles for meaningfulness is carved out, that could be used in semantic theories. Therefor the author undertakes the following steps: assessment and critique of different intuitions, specification and critique of proposals made by logical empiricists, evaluation of newer suggestions, arguments for all important claims in a formal setting, on the basis of examples: analysis of assertions about the meaninglessness of expressions.
