sources[edit]

are sources really needed for a page that is mostly there to link to other pages? I think that the ones it links to should have sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.191.169.117 (talk) 19:06, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

formal semantics[edit]

The term "formal semantics" also refers to one way of studying meaning in theoretical linguistics. joo-yoon (talk) 01:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

Why was this article moved (about 15 months ago) from Semantics of Logic? When I look at the first 20 Google Scholar hits for "Formal Semantics", I get:

9 for semantics of programming languages, either in general, or for particular PLs
5 for modelling and specification languages (e.g., UML, which doesn't have a formal semantics...)
4 for linguistics
1 for semantics of logic, and
1 for semantic web

Should we move the page back? This page should be for formal semantics in linguistics, I think, where it has the clearest meaning. — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Charles, it was a long time ago and I am not sure about the circumstances. I am sure that you know what you are doing so you can arrange things anyway you want as far as I'm concerned. In that case, it seems to me that the article Semantics should have a section titled "Semantics of logic" with a "main" link to the full article which you are talking about and a short summary of such an article (consistent with Wikipedia:WikiProject Integration).

Scope[edit]

This article should logically serve as a dab, but it needs text, like a {{SIA}}. There is overlap in the approaches to FS in various fields: logic, tcs, linguistics, which justify more than a dab per WP:CONCEPTDAB. The main problem is that this article was written with little clarity with respect to both scope and details. Tijfo098 (talk) 17:12, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is "tcs"? In any case, this article should be split; what was there before your edit should be in formal semantics (logic) (or formal semantics (mathematics), if the philosphical logicians object), formal semantics (computer science), the experimental formal semantics (natural language) (probably not "linguistics"), and possibly some other topics. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:42, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind splitting this article and replacing it with a dab. Because it had the linguistics sidebar, I assumed it was trying (but failing) to be an overview. There is overlap in formal semantics in the 3 fields, e.g. algebraic semantics is the same in both logic and tcs (= theoretical computer science), despite what the Wikipedia stub on that says, just applied to different formal languages. So, there is some basis for a common overview article here. However, there is probably little if any readership for such an overview, so it may be a waste of time to write.
