                1. semantic studies can be traced back to the first studies of language by man.
                  1. Since the very first moments in which man started to investigate the phenomenon of
                    1. Aristotle’s first ruminations on language (IV c. BC) or Pāņini’s grammar (IV c BC?),
                  2. The attempt to find the correspondence between parts of the linguistic code and parts of meaning can be considered the goal of any linguistic theory in general.

                            1. Is concerned with a very limited set of statements that can be truth about the truth can be determinated
                              1. Formal semantics is the natural choice for people working in rule based on natural language proccesing
                        2. syntax
                          1. For the syntax we assume that sentences have a hierachical constituent structure that groups words and subconstituents into constituents.

                              1. It tries to root meaning in human experience of the world which it finds in human cognition.
