Sentence examples for semantics from high-quality English sources.

• What is such semantics?

• Neutral semantics make all empty-termed atomic formulas not of the form E!

• Proof-theoretic semantics is an alternative to truth-condition semantics.

• The concept of internal categoricity provides a bridge between full semantics and Henkin semantics.

• The relation between situation semantics and Davidsonian event semantics will be taken up in section 9.

• The semantics that I present here is the ternary relation semantics due to Richard Routley and Robert K.

• For more details on different versions of this alternative to classical semantics, see the entry on dynamic semantics.

• A negative semantics is a bivalent semantics on which all empty-termed atomic formulas (including identity statements) are false.

Use semantics in a sentence.

• Nonetheless, unlike the semantics for SQML, Kripke's semantics yields a set of logical truths that is fully compatible with actualism.

• The connection between team semantics and Tarski semantics is shown by the following result, which holds in dependence logic as well as in all its first order variants:

• In particular, the familiar matrix semantics are a particular case of possible-translations semantics, as well as the historical examples of translations between logics found in the literature.

• Specifically, Elbourne proposes a situation semantics (situations in natural language semantics), where the semantics of pronouns (and determiners) are treated in a Fregean way, as follows:

• The relationship between dynamic semantics and classical semantics is different than the relationship between the latter and the other alternatives to classical semantics that I’ve discussed.

• Another alternative to classical semantics does not deny that assumption, but does deny that truth conditions should play the fundamental role in semantics that classical semantics give to them.

• A second possible misunderstanding is that dynamic semantics or update semantics is in complete opposition to classical truth conditional semantics (compare the entries on classical logic and first-order model theory).

• Thus, presentist quantification suggests a varying domain semantics, whereas the semantics associated with eternalist quantification is a constant domain semantics, and in what follows we will use these expressions interchangeably.

• As mentioned, the game-theoretic semantics for dependence logic is a variant of the imperfect-information semantics for independence-friendly logic, which is itself an adaptation of the game-theoretic semantics of first-order logic.

• Finally, we should note that while model theory and proof theory are the most prominent contenders for the explication of logical consequence, there are alternative frameworks for formal semantics such as algebraic semantics, game-theoretic semantics and dynamic semantics (see Wansig 2000).

• Paris (2000) provides an overview over other semantics supporting various choices of truth functions; in particular, re-randomizing semantics (Hisdal 1988), similarity semantics (e.g., Ruspini 1991), acceptability semantics (Paris 1997), and approximation semantics (Paris 2000).

• Some Essentialists—notably Chomsky—also deny that semantics can be separated from pragmatics, but unlike the Emergentists (who think that semantics-pragmatics is a starting point for linguistic theory), Chomsky (as we noted briefly in section 1.3) denies that semantics and pragmatics can have any role in linguistics:
