Multiple semantics: Whose confusions?

The argument that the concept of “multiple semantics” is multiply confused, as presented in Caramazza, Hillis, Rapp, and Rod (1990) is considered and criticised. It is argued that Caramazza et al. were attempting to force the discussion of semantic processing into too rigid a conceptual framework, and that their proposed alternative—the Organised Unitary Content Hypothesis—is not methodologically superior.
