Summary/Abstract: In the broader context of contemporary research on signification in natural language, referential semantics represents one of the most important and fruitful approaches. Professor Oltean’s book is intended to be, as the title shows it, an introduction to this semantic theory by giving an account of its relations with other theories of signification, by defining the object of referential semantics, as well as by explaining various notions and ideas put forth by the three major directions which have developed inside the broader framework of referential semantics – “truthconditional semantics”, “formal semantics” and “model-theoretic semantics” or “possible worlds semantics”.
