Naturalized Semantics

Naturalized Semantics is a way of understanding how meaning works in language by closely linking it to our practical use and our cognitive processes. Instead of relying solely on abstract rules or formal logic, it examines how words and sentences relate to our real-world experiences, perceptions, and neural understanding. This approach sees meaning as grounded in actual use and empirical knowledge, emphasizing that how we interpret language depends on our interactions with the environment and our mental capacities, making semantics a natural, dynamic part of everyday cognition.
