| Semantic ascent, philosophy: semantic ascent is an expression by W.V.O. Quine (Quine, From a logical point of view, Harvard, 1953). The semantic ascent is no longer about objects, but about the use of expressions for these objects and of expressions for properties which we ascribe to these objects. In this way, the question as to which objects an ontology is fixed on is only indirectly addressed. See also mention, use, meaning, reference, semantic descent, ontology, non-existence, predication._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Alfred Tarski on Semantic Ascent - Dictionary of Arguments
Berka I 396/97 Semantics/Tarski: in a narrow sense: Identify, satisfy, define. Theses are relations between expressions and objects. N.B.: semantic concepts are always relative to a language.(1) >Satisfaction/Tarski, >Definitions/Tarski. 1.

III, ASI 390, Paris 1936, pp. 1-8 - - - Berka I 526 Semantics/Tarski: Semantic concepts express dependencies between expressions and objects - and therefore characterize categories of expressions or other objects - with "suppositio materialis": they are fixing the mapping between names of expressions and expressions themselves - problem: semantic terms themselves are difficult to define.(2) >Names of expressions, >Names of sentences, >Description levels, >Levels, >Denotation/Tarski. 2.
