Interpretation and truth
Analytic truth -- Assignment -- Axiom -- Compositionality Principle -- Contingent truth -- Covert category -- Dual (semantics) -- External negation -- Idiom -- Internal negation -- Interpretation -- Interpretive rules -- Katz-Postal-principle -- Left downward monotonicity -- Left upward monotonicity -- Meaning postulate -- Modal logic -- Monotonicity -- Name -- Narrow scope -- Necessary truth -- Opaque context -- Rigid designator -- Truth

Semantic metalanguage
