Frege(as a major historical figure in philosophy): Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) was a German logician and philosopher who founded modern logic and did groundbreaking work on how language relates to meaning and existence.
Sense (in philosophy of language)(what the statement says would need to be individuated (separated)): The meaning or concept of a word or phrase—what it *means* rather than just what it *refers to*. For example, 'the morning star' and 'the evening star' refer to the same thing (Venus) but have different senses.
conceptual content(Contrasted with perceptual content which allegedly can be contradictory): Content of the kind found in propositional attitudes such as belief, which is argued to necessarily be consistent (non-contradictory)
mode of presentation(Fregean semantics): The way in which a name picks out or presents its referent; two names may share a referent while differing in their mode of presentation
