Interpretative semantics/interpretational semantics/Evans: these kinds of semantics would have to assume an entity for each type of semantic expression. They would have to provide a set, a truth value, a function of sets on truth values, etc., which could be attributed to the occurrences of this kind, namely under an arbitrary kind of interpretation. Then we could conceive the specification of the nature of the attribution as a specification of the fundamental being that one word has in common with others.
