Denotational engineering or from denotations to syntax
1987This paper is devoted to the methodology of using denotational techniques in software design. Since denotations describe the mechanisms of a system and syntax is only a user-visible representation of these mechanisms, we suggest that denotations be developed in the first place and that syntax be derived from them later.

According to Frege, the meaning of an expression is the description that helps language users to determine what its reference is.

This chapter analyzes how realism recuperates reference in the realm of the fictional, offering a kind of epistemological safety net for the awkward and awful stuff it regularly represents. It provides an open circuit between fictionality and reference that can never be closed. But only in the age of realism, and in the realistic works that continue to

A denotational semantics for Prolog
ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, 1989A denotational semantics is presented for the language Pro.og. Metapredicates are not considered. Conventional control sequencing is assumed for Prolog's execution. The semantics is nonstandard, and goal continuations are used to explicate the sequencing.

AbstractThe chapter outlines Russell’s early theory of denoting in 1903, and the reasons why it should be abandoned. The new theory of 1905 contains objections to the rival views of definite descriptions due to Meinong and to Frege, and these are endorsed.
