In this paper, I offer a truth-conditional semantics that can accommodate copredicative sentences, in which polysemous terms are being used in more than one sense, and thus have more than one extension simultaneously. I argue, further, that my account is compatible with externalism, which is significant because the existence of polysemy is often thought to pose a problem for externalism. Context is required to play an important role in this semantics, which, as I will show, is substantially different from accounts currently on the market.]]></p></abstract>

En este artículo, ofrezco una semántica veri-condicional que puede dar cuenta de las oraciones copredicativas, en las cuales los términos polisémicos se utilizan en más de un sentido y, por tanto, poseen más de una extensión simultáneamente. Además, argumento que mi propuesta es compatible con el externismo, lo cual es significativo porque la existencia de la polisemia suele considerarse un problema para dicha posición. El contexto debe desempeñar un papel importante en esta semántica que, como mostraré, difiere sustancialmente de las propuestas actualmente disponibles.]]></p></abstract>
