text: Psychosemantics is the theory of what it is in virtue of which our thoughts refer to (parts of) the world; if traditional, linguistic semantics is the theory of word-world relations, the psychosemantics is intended to be the analogous theory of thought-world relations. Although the topic of psychosemantics might, at first blush, seem to be remote from the present concerns about color ontology, it has sometimes been alleged that the argument from perceptual variation that we have been considering depends in a certain way on psychosemantic matters -- or, at least, on the unsatisfactory status of extant psychsemantic theorizing.
