Semantics is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between signifiers, such as words, phrases, signs and symbols, and what they stand for, their denotata. I think your confusion comes from the last phrase, that is, does puncutation come under signs and symbols ?

Now, Schiffer’s own theory doesn’t make play with all these “verities” and “ideal psychological states”. He does use various counterfactual idealizations to describe a range of “VPB*s”—so that e.g. relative to a given circumstance, we can talk about which VPB an idealized agent would take to a given proposition (though it shouldn’t be assumed that the idealization gives definitive…

The text-driven preacher must recognize that there are four basic types of meaning conveyed in every text and context: referential, situational, structural and semantic. Referential meaning is that which is being talked about; the subject matter of a text. Situational meaning is information pertaining to the participants in a communication act; matters of environment, social…

On BTPDF here has a lively debate on adding semantics to scientific publications and this is a snapshot of some of my own contributions. The site (and the meeting) are – I think – open to anyone. The idea is that people will offer ideas and materials in to support the meeting. ** One discipline I think we should adopt before BTPDF is that we should all read a variety of papers…

Confusions of Semantics and Synonyms Introduction The Lord’s Supper is often mistaken for the Lord’s Table due to semantics and synonyms. The Lord Jesus and the Apostles spoke clearly about His Supper and showed how it is to be observed. In spite of such Biblical clarity, our minds get cluttered in words and wrong practices which often emanate from traditions and lack of careful…

In semantics, the principle that under certain conditions the truth of one statement ensures the truth of a second statement. Also called strict implication. [M]any, if not all, assertive sentences (statements, propositions) of a language allow for inferences solely on the basis of their meanings. For example, when I say Ben has been murdered, then anyone who has understood…

I have a book on my shelf – one that I cherish from my days at Berkeley – called “Women, Fire and Dangerous Things.” It’s about semantics, categorization, and classical versus modern theories of such. As the first chapter explains, the title is not just based on a tongue in cheek reference to women being hot-tempered and maybe a bit volatile, but on semantic groupings uncovered…

It all depends how deep you want to go, and how much you already know. For a beginner Winksel s book is really nice, but yes, it s not introducing you to the state of the art in semantics as it was written about 20 years ago. Nevertheless it s still a good first introduction to the subject. It might also be worthwhile pointing out that T. Nipkow has formalised a substantial…

The development of complex systems mixing hardware and software starts more and more by the design of functional models written in SystemC/TLM. These models are used as golden models for embedded software validation and for hardware verification, therefore their own validation is an important issue. One thriving approach consists in describing the semantics of SystemC/TLM in…
