Formal semantics is understood either as a formal analysis of semantical features of natural language or as model-theoretic semantics of formal(ized) languages. This paper focuses on the second understanding. The problem is how to identify the formal aspects of formal semantics, if we understand '...
Fundamentals of Formal Semantics is a concise introduction to the field of semantics as it is actually practiced. Through simple examples, pictures, and metaphors, Paul Portner presents the field's key ideas about how language works. * explains the fundamental ideas and some of the most significa...
To a person who asked for a definition of jazz, Louis Armstrong is said to have replied, “Man. when you got to ask what it is, you’ll never get to know,” proving himself to be an intuitive semanticist as well as a great trumpet player. Semantics, then, does not deal with the ...

What′s Mathematical Truth 数学真理是什么 现代物理学告诉我们，宇宙可能是有穷的，时空也可能是离散而非连续的，但在现代数学中我们似乎有着非常确定的、关于某些无穷和连续的数学对象和结构的真理。这些独立于物质世界的数学对象和结构果真存在吗？数学定理果真是关于它们的客观真理？我们的物质性的、有限的大脑...

“formal analysis” has mainly been associated with the former, in which formal analysis is substantially the same thing as imposing the conceptual framework of the analyst. The argument here is that it can be much fruitfully framed in the latter. Form is not something that one must of ...
There are a number of branches and subbranches of semantics, includingformal semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such assense, reference, implication, and logical form,lexical semantics, which studies word meanings and word relations, andconceptual semantics, which studies the cog...
