Language and its Models: Is Model Theory a Theory of Semantics?
Nordic Journal of Philosophical Logic 2 (1):1-23 (1997)
Abstract
Tarskian model theory is almost universally understood as a formal counterpart of the preformal notion of semantics, of the “linkage between words and things”. The wide-spread opinion is that to account for the semantics of natural language is to furnish its settheoretic interpretation in a suitable model structure; as exemplified by Montague 1974.Author's Profile
