Abstract

The psychological orientation treats semantics as a matter of idealized computation over symbolic structures, and semantic relations like denotation as relations between linguistic expressions and these structures. I argue that results similar to Godel’s incompleteness theorems and Tarski’s theorem on truth create foundational difficulties for this view of semantics.
