1.   How might we represent these kinds of facts in a semantic theory?

2.   However, during the present project the limitations of the established semantic theories have become apparent.

3.   If it has a specific set of meanings, the semantic theory should specify them.

4.   Modifiers can create other complications for compositionality, which must also be reflected in a semantic theory of the language.

5.   In this book we shall assume, for working purposes, that a semantic theory is truth-conditional.

6.   But ultimately, the pragmaticist may do well to remain agnostic, whatever semantic theory is assumed for working purposes.

7.   This amounts to a concise argument that semantics is not autonomous with respect to pragmatics, and that pragmatics provides part of the necessary input to a semantic theory.

8.   The substantial gap that remains to be bridged between a semantic theory and a complete theory of linguistic communication will be demonstrated throughout this book.

9.   Attempts by Barwise and Perry in their formulation of a situation semantics show promising moves to contextualise semantic theory.

10.   But pragmatism is an interpretive conception of law, not a semantic theory.
