Certain representation systems, loosely called "linguistic" ones, seems to lack the inferential efficiency, the expressive inflexibility, and the expressive richness possessed by certain other systems, loosely called "graphical ones. This paper investigates the semantic mechanism underlying this intuitive phenomenom, and attributes a reason to the fact that semantic interpretation in "linguistic" systems is only applied to fairly specific properties of representations.
