dynamic semantics

Dynamic semantics is a way of understanding how language meaning depends on context and interaction. Unlike static models that assign fixed meanings to words, dynamic semantics considers how sentences can change or update our understanding of the conversation or situation as they are spoken. It focuses on how communication influences knowledge, assumptions, or the environment, making language more flexible and responsive to real-time information. Essentially, it explains how meaning isn't just about words alone but also about how those words function within ongoing dialogue and context.
