The paper briefly surveys the sentential proof-theoretic semantics for fragment of English. Then, appealing to a version of
Frege’s context-principle (specified to fit type-logical grammar), a method is presented for deriving proof-theoretic meanings
for sub-sentential phrases, down to lexical units (words). The sentential meaning is decomposed according to the function-argument
structure as determined by the type-logical grammar. In doing so, the paper presents a novel proof-theoretic interpretation
of simple type, replacing Montague’s model-theoretic type interpretation (in arbitrary Henkin models). The domains of derivations
are collections of derivations in the associated “dedicated” natural-deduction proof-system, and functions therein (with no
appeal to models, truth-values and elements of a domain). The compositionality of the semantics is analyzed. |
