The paper surveys and discusses aspects of rigidity of designators in Hintikka's work in modal semantics. The author distinguishes three different variants of rigidity, viz. formal rigidity, semantical rigidity, and linguistic rigidity. The author then argues that these help to explain Hintikka's positions on rigidity and make them more comprehensible and explicit.
