Since the European Union membership application in 1987, twenty-six years have passed and the status of Turkey has only progressed from a “potential candidate” to an “official candidate”.

In contemporary philosophy linguistic meaning is often conceived of as a relation of referring or representing things in either some possible world or the actua
