Definitions

intensionality

Noun

/ɪnˌtɛnʃəˈnælɪti/

Philosophy, Linguistics: the quality, state, or property of being intensional; the semantic characteristic of an expression, context, or mental state that concerns sense or meaning rather than direct reference, so that substitution of co-referential terms may alter truth value.

Modal logicians study the intensionality of the operator "necessarily," noting that one cannot always replace "the morning star" with "Venus" without changing the truth conditions.
