This quantity encompasses a specified, specified and transparent semantic formalism designed to permit non-programmers resembling linguists and literary experts to symbolize parts of that means which they need to care for of their examine and instructing. while, through its foundation in a sensible programming paradigm, it keeps enough formal precision to help computational implementation.

The formalism is designed to symbolize that means as came across at a number of degrees, together with easy semantic devices and kin, note which means, sentence-level phenomena, and text-level which means. by means of drawing on basic ideas of software layout, the proposed formalism is either effortless to learn and regulate but sufficiently strong to permit for the illustration of advanced semantic phenomena.
