Within the debate about context-sensitivity, Invariantism is an extreme view. It holds that most words have the same meaning in all contexts, as do most sentences. The goal of this chapter is both exposition and argumentation. First, I want to draw a distinciton between being an invariantist about a particular expression in language on the one hand, and (uppercase 'I') Invariantism as a general semantic theory. Given this distinction, we can use motivations for lower-case 'i' invariantism about some terms to construct the general semantic theory that is Invariantism. In explaining and motivating this general theory, I will also look at some objections to the theory and respond to them.
