     >part:  lexical_semantics__lexicalsemantic
     >part:  semantics_of_logic  approaches that logicians have introduced to understand and determine that part of meaning in which they are interested; the logician traditionally is not interested in the sentence as uttered but in the proposition, an idealised sentence suitable for logical manipulation
        >part:  model-theoretic_semantics__modeltheoreticsemantic  the most widepsread approach, and is based on the idea that the meaning of the various parts of the propositions are given by the possible ways we can give a recursively specified group of interpretation functions from them to some predefined mathematical domains: an interpretation of first-order predicate logic is given by a mapping from terms to a universe of individuals, and a mapping from propositions to the truth values "true" and "false"
        >part:  proof-theoretic_semantics__prooftheoreticsemantic  approach associating the meaning of propositions with the roles that they can play in inferences
  >part:  stylistics
     >part:  prescription
  >part:  pragmatics  the study of language use
