standard semantics
The standard interpretation of a term in some language yields the term's
standard denotational semantics, i.e. its "meaning". This is usually given by a
semantic function which maps a term in the abstract syntax to a point in some
domain. The domain is the interpretation of the term's type. The semantic
function also takes an environment - a function which maps the free variables of
the term to their meaning. We say that a domain point "denotes", or "is the
denotation of", a term. A non-standard semantics results from some other
interpretation, e.g. an abstract interpretation.
