 As mentioned above, the aim of §2 of this entry is to discuss issues about the form which a semantic theory should take which are at a higher level of abstraction than issues about the correct semantic treatment of particular expression-types. (Also as mentioned above, some of these may be found in the entries on  conditionals,  descriptions,  names,  propositional attitude reports, and  tense and aspect.)  But there are some general issues in semantics which, while more general than questions about how, for example, the semantics of adverbs should go, are largely (though not wholly) orthogonal to the question of which of the frameworks for semantic theorizing laid out in  §2.1–2  should be adopted. The present subsection introduces a few of these.
