There has recently been an explosion of formal models of signaling, which have been developed in order to learn about different aspects of meaning. This paper discusses whether that success can also be used to provide an original naturalistic theory of meaning in terms of information or some related notion. In particular, it argues that, although these models can teach us a lot about different aspects of content, at the moment they fail to support the idea that meaning just is some kind of information. As an alternative, I suggest a more modest approach to the relationship between the informational notions used in models and semantic properties in the natural world.
最近，为了探究意义的不同方面而开发的信号形式模型激增。本文探讨了这种成功是否也能用于提供一种基于信息或某些相关概念的原创自然主义意义理论。特别是，本文认为，尽管这些模型能让我们对内容的不同方面有很多了解，但目前它们无法支持意义仅仅是某种信息的观点。作为一种替代方案，我建议对模型中使用的信息概念与自然世界中的语义属性之间的关系采取一种更为适度的方法。
