REPLY TO “DO LINGUISTIC MEANINGS MEET LINGUISTIC FORM?”

In reply to the claim that syntax is not taken into account in Linguistic Meaning Meets Form, I show local syntactic analysis has been implemented treatment of aspectual verbs and positive negative recall, where function -ing form as direct object main verb put relation with verb’s meaning basis for inferences drawn concerning temporal between event expressed by complement. argue have also developed new tools to-infinitive, demonstrating it verb, but rather a goal- or result-specifier, showing how this accounts fact its always understood be somehow subsequent verb. Regarding applicability formal semantics natural language, absolute priority accorded truth-functional dimension language type leads artificial separation use-conditions from truth-conditions, former being treated an additional interpretational added on one. Contra autonomous our desire express great extent independent means we use those meanings, argued perceive world experience influenced system linguistic representation.
