 What does it *mean* for a sentence to be true?<br>
 What conditions must hold for a sentence to be true?
 
+Formal semantics attempts to answer those questions by providing a *framework* for determining what *conditions* must hold for a sentence to be true.
+
+This framework is [first-order/predicate logic](../mathematics/logic) and the [simply-typed lambda calculus](../plt/lambda-calculus). On top of this, we often build set theory, relying on *characteristic functions* of the lambda calculus to denote *set membership*.
