epistemic two-dimensional semantics

Epistemic two-dimensional semantics is a framework used to analyze the meaning of words, particularly in terms of how we understand statements about knowledge and possibilities. It considers two dimensions: the first relates to how things actually are in the world (the "actual" dimension), and the second concerns how a person might perceive or imagine different possibilities (the "epistemic" dimension). This approach helps clarify how our knowledge affects our understanding of language, allowing us to distinguish between what is true in reality and what could be true in different scenarios.
