| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to provide a state of the art in the field of formal semantics, a branch of linguistics which relies on logic and mathematics to study systematically how the meaning of complex linguistic expressions is derived. First, I offer an overview of the history of the discipline. Second, I present the logical apparatus that allows us to build a semantic model for truth-value meaning. In the third and fourth place, I introduce some concepts that make it possible to extend the formal system in order to deal with not-at-issue and information-structure meanings, respectively. Finally, I review some of the proposals and discussions on how to use this system to account for a selection of parts of speech and grammatical categories available in natural languages. |
