I'm watching the TED talk by Kahneman about experience and he says that the word happiness is no longer useful because it is applied to too many things. So that I may talk with greater clarity in the future, I would like to explore this idea more closely and examine what scholars have said this applies in terms of other words. My question is then: In the philosophy of language, what is this phenomenon called?
