We
will use the term "meaning" in this context-independent sense, and we will use the term "usage" for the context-dependent aspects. The representation of contextindependent meaning is called the logical form. The process of mapping a sentence to its logical form is called semantic interpretation

(quantifier variable : restriction-proposition body-proposition) For instance, the sentence "Most dogs bark" would have the logical form
(MOST1 d1 (DOG1 d1) (BARKS1 d1))
This means that most of the objects dl that satisfy (DOG1 d1) also satisfy (BARKS1 d1). Note that this has a very different meaning from the formula 11/22/2012
