Logic and Semantics

Logic is the study of reasoning and the principles that guide valid arguments, while semantics focuses on meaning in language and how words and sentences convey information. In the context of theories of reference, these concepts explore how words connect to the things they represent. For instance, when we use a name like "Paris," semantics helps us understand its meaning, while logic reveals how we can reason about statements involving that name. Together, they provide a framework for understanding communication, truth, and how we interpret information about the world.
