LA CONTRIBUCIÓN DE GEORGES KALINOWSKI A LA SEMÁNTICA NORMATIVA * Carlos I. MASSINI CORREAS ** In this essay, the author exami-nes the different philosophical schools of thou-ght that explain the relationship between language and norms, distinguishing bet-ween the sociological approach; the approach according to which norms are equal to lan-guage; and the semantic perspective, in which the notions of meaning and designation are crucial. In this way, the author explains Kalinowksis proposal, stressing the distinction between meaning, understood as the function of linguistic signs in connection with thought, and designation, understood as the function of a great number of linguistic signs in connection with real entities. Lastly, after a critical examination of Kalinowskis proposal, the author develops a synthesis which allows him to conclude that conceptions about what is just or unjust do not depend on human subjectivity, but are connected to real and objective structures which trascend the subject. Descriptors: normative semantics, linguistics, meaning, designation. *Corresponde agradecer aquí a los doctores Jorge Martínez Barrera y Marisa Villalba de Tablón, quienes leyeron los originales de este trabajo y sugirieron oportunas correcciones y adiciones. **Universidad de Mendoza, Argentina. * Nota: Debido que la traducción es automática podrá ser inexacta o contener errores.
