Description The conflict between semantic minimalism and semantic contextualism seems to be irreconcilable. I suggest to view the controversy rather as a controversy concerning methodological principles which should govern investigation of language and meaning. It can be shown that some of the classically adopted principles are implausible, their a bit modified version would by more appropriate. Consequently, there will be no need to conform to any of the two extreme positions.
