Introduction. The article offers a comparative analysis of relativism and conceptualism in semantic of PPTs, which will allow us to investigate the properties of PPTs based on the experience of the subject.Methodology and sources. A key role in the understanding of the truth value of utterances is played by D. Kaplan's two-dimensional semantics and D. Lewis' version of the semantics of possible worlds. These theories are expanded and supplemented in the modern semantics of taste, which are considered in this article on the example of the works of E.G. Bylinina, M. Glanzberg, D. Ninan, H. Pearson, T. Stephenson.Results and discussion. Author comes to the conclusion that these theories stand on the same ontological and semantic attitudes associated with subjective perception, which help to relativism and contextualism describe the phenomenon of faultless disagreement. However, relativism and contextualism have not been able to explain this puzzle. The author tried to determine the role of this phenomenon in the semantics of taste, for which the role of first-hand experience in the utterances of taste is considered at the article. It is noted that the requirement of first-hand experience is necessary in modern semantic theories of PPTs, because it seems to be the only ontologically justified requirement.Conclusion. The author comes to the conclusion that requirement of first-hand experience is not a necessary for semantic analysis of PPTs. For that, considering the different reading of individual terms at the end of the article allows us to come to the conclusion that statements of taste express propositional attitude.
