a subfield of linguistics that employs mathematical and logical tools to study the precise meaning and interpretation of language, focusing on the formal representation of meaning using formal languages, logic, and computational methods
What is "formal semantics"?
Formal semantics is the study of meaning in language using mathematical and logical methods. It focuses on how the structure of sentences contributes to their meanings and aims to create precise models that explain these relationships. Formal semantics analyzes the rules that govern sentence formation and meaning, often using tools from logic to represent and interpret various linguistic elements. This field helps to clarify how meaning is constructed in different contexts and how language can express complex ideas through formal structures.
