  • axiomatic: From denotational to operational and axiomatic semantics for Algol-like languages: an overview.
  • cause/constitute: The Argument shows that syntax by itself is not sufficient to cause/constitute semantics.
  • well-defined: However, most visual languages lack a well-defined formal semantics.

Noun used with modifier

  • model-theoretic: We'll abstract away from the language of actions, and recast the phenomena within the terminology of model-theoretic semantics.
  • concurrency: More recently I have worked on how to give true concurrency semantics to time extended LOTOS calculi.
  • browsing: The Pipe browsing semantics is used to define a tool that can handle a hypermedia application by using Pipe structures.
  • programming: When I say " semantics " I mean " programming language semantics " ; given a computer program, what is its meaning?
