“We do not say that fish means or refers to fish when it is an echoic, textual, or intraverbal response. If we tend to say so when it is a tact, it is not because there is a different kind of controlling relation between the stimulus and response, but rather because the listener responds in more useful ways to the controlling stimulus.” (p. 84).
