An expression denotes the object (if any) which is unambiguously determined by its sense.
Therefore:
An empirical expression denotes an intension, never the value of the intension in the actual world.
On the other hand:
An expression refers to the object which is the value of its denotation in the actual world-time.
"Sense, Denotation, Reference: A terminological/philosophical Chaos", Dr. Pavel Materna
...or does it make sense?
