| Semantic value: the semantic value of an expression is the result of a division of this expression into word types and subsequent attribution of possible objects which can stand in relation to this word. E.g. semantic values of nouns can be objects, semantic values of predicates can be (but do not need to be) properties. See also truth values, truth conditions, compositionality._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

David K. Lewis on Semantic Value - Dictionary of Arguments
Schwarz I 199 Semantic value/Lewis/Schwarz: more neutral than truth value: >Truth value. 1) there is a function for each grammatical category (N, S, V, adverb, etc.) - E.g. for N: from possible situations to things. Semantic value instead of reference, meaning, intension, extension. >Meaning/Lewis, >Extension/Lewis, >Intension/Lewis, >Name/Lewis. E.g. meaning of Frieda not carrier, but function of situations on individuals. Task of semantic value: Help with designing the right truth conditions (appropriate to the conventions) - E.g. Venus is Venus and the morning star is Venus have the same semantic value. Schwarz I 200 Two expressions have the same meaning if they are assembled in the same way of parts with the same semantic value. Schwarz I 206 Index coordinates/Lewis: Example for operators like strictly speaking, somewhere: full semantic value: function of situations, times, worlds, places and precision standards on truth value. - Equivalent: Assigning of functions of times, worlds, places and precision standards on truth value for situations: the latter is often called a proposition or actual semantic value: (Montague, Cresswell, Kaplan, Stalnaker): here the semantic value varies from situation to situation, from context to context - Schwarz: division of the possibility area. - ((s) Always true/false)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
