Semantics aims to describe the significance (or meaning) of linguistic expressions in a systematic way. Metasemantics, or foundational semantics, asks how expressions gain their significance in the first place - what makes it the case that expressions mean what they do.

A large concern is semantic indeterminacy, the worry that there is no fact of the matter as to the semantic significance of our words.
