Truth Values

Truth values are fundamental concepts in formal semantics, representing the status of a statement as either true or false. They help us understand how sentences convey meaning and how we can evaluate their accuracy in different contexts. For example, the statement "The sky is blue" can be assigned a truth value based on whether the sky is, in fact, blue at that moment. In formal logic and language analysis, truth values allow us to analyze arguments, determine validity, and explore how meaning changes with context, enabling clearer communication and understanding of propositions.
