Property or quality connoted by a word, phrase, or another symbol
This article is about referential context. For the identically pronounced term referring to a future commitment, see Intention. For the state of having intension, see intentionality. For the song "Intension" by Tool, see 10,000 Days (Tool album).
In any of several fields of study that treat the use of signs—for example, in linguistics, logic, mathematics, semantics, semiotics, and philosophy of language—an intension is any property or quality connoted by a word, phrase, or another symbol.[1] In the case of a word, the word's definition often implies an intension. For instance, the intensions of the word plant include properties such as "being composed of cellulose (not always true)", "alive", and "organism", among others. A comprehension is the collection of all such intensions.
