Traditional semantics: concept name versus concept; concept versus idea associated with concept name; concept content and scope, conceptual features, scope ratios of concepts. Principles of logical semantics (LS) for the analysis of natural language - p. effective communication, p. objectivity of the meaning of an expression, p. competent language user (practical mastery of the rules of language, basic ability to reason (logically), knowledge base - knowledge of the core lexis of the language, the range of analytical truths and empirical truths that are relevant to the text being analysed, p. p. of complete meaning, p. of compositionality (compositionality) of meaning, p. of predication and supposition de dicto and de re, Parmenides' (Frege's) principle of what a sentence is about, p. of substitutability (Leibniz's principle of salva veritate), p. of posibilism (anti-actualism). Theory of meaning (TM): extensional versus intensional TM; the de dicto and de re substitution of expressions; logical versus linguistic synonymy of expressions. Hyperintentional TM (epistemic and doxastic attitudes; types of contexts) and structuration of meanings of expressions - meaning of expression as a structured procedure. Interaction of logical operators and vectors of condition (and its facticity or irreality), time and relevance (factual, hypothetical and counterfactual conditionals; deductive and abductive predication and retrodiction). Violation of LS principles: idioms, metaphors, oxymorons, privative modifiers. Distortion of the validity of LS principles in condensed text: sentence elision (entymeme), word and phrase elision, intra-textual referencing; rules for the formation of elisions and references, and rules for the reconstruction of condensed and unconstrained texts.

Students deepened their knowledge in the field of logical semantics, its principles, became familiar with linguistic phenomena that violate the principles of logical semantics and linguistic phenomena that distort these principles, and became familiar with the rules of creating and reconstructing compacted texts.
