基本説明
Whereas for classical semantics the object of analysis is an abstract sentence or utterance such as "Grass is green", for attitudinal semantics the object of inquiry is a propositional attitude such as "Speaker so-and-so thinks grass is green". Explicit relativization to some speaker S allows for semantic theory then to make contact with psychology, sociology, historical linguistics, and other empirical disciplines.
Full Description
According to the dominant theory of meaning, truth-conditional semantics, to explain the meaning of a statement is to specify the conditions necessary and sufficient for its truth.
