intensjonalnych

Intensjonalnych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective intensjonalny, used in academic language to refer to things associated with intensjonalność (intensionality). In philosophy of language and semantics, intensjonalność describes a property of linguistic contexts in which truth conditions depend on more than the actual extension of terms—namely, the mode of presentation, cognitive attitude, or mental state involved.

In contrast to extensional contexts, intensional contexts involve propositional attitudes (believe, know, want, fear) or modal operators (necessarily, possibly). Within these contexts, substituting co-referential terms can change truth values. For example, in the statement “John believes that the author of Hamlet wrote Hamlet,” replacing “the author of Hamlet” with “Shakespeare” may alter the belief content, even though Shakespeare is in fact the author. This illustrates how intensional contexts track content beyond mere reference.

The study of intensionality often employs possible-worlds semantics and the Fregean distinction between sense and reference to model how different speakers or thought contents yield different truth conditions. In Polish scholarly writing, terms such as konteksty intensjonalne and intensjonalność are common, and related adjectives may appear as intensjonalny or intencjonalny depending on the source.

Applications of intensional analysis span philosophy of mind, linguistics, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. It informs theories of meaning, representation, and interpretation, particularly in areas dealing with belief, knowledge, desire, and other attitudes, as well as in natural language processing and formal semantics.
