Abstract
In this article we give an introduction to the idea and workings of
dynamic semantics. We start with an overview of its historical
background and motivation in this introductory section. An in-depth
description of a paradigm version of dynamic semantics, Dynamic
Predicate Logic, is given in section 2. In section 3 we discuss some
applications of the dynamic kind of interpretation to illustrate how
it can be taken to neatly account for a vast number of empirical
phenomena. In section 4 more radical extensions of the basic paradigm
are discussed, all of them systematically incorporating previously
deemed pragmatic aspects of meaning in the interpretational
system. Finally, a discussion of some more general, philosophical and
theoretical, issues surrounding dynamic semantics can be found in
section 5.
