Metasemantics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the philosophy of language and metaphysics, metasemantics is the study of the foundations of natural language semantics (the philosophical study of meaning).[1][2][3] Metasemantics searches for "the proper understanding of compositionality, the object of truth-conditional analysis, metaphysics of reference, as well as, and most importantly, the scope of semantic theory itself"[4] and asks "how it is that expressions become endowed with their semantic significance".[5]
