ABSTRACT
It may seem puzzling that so far we have not touched concepts which might seem imperative for a structuralist approach to semantics, namely the concepts of semantic structure and logical form. Are not the theories which try to approach meanings through such concepts structuralist theories par excellence? If this were really the case, the majority of contemporary semantic theories would indeed have to be structuralistic: especially the concept of logical form appears to play a central role not only within the theories of logically-minded semanticists (see, e.g., Sainsbury, 1991), but also in those of many linguists, especially those following Chomsky (see, e.g., Chomsky, 1986). However, to conclude that a theory would be structuralistic in the sense entertained here only due to the fact that it operates with the term "form" or "structure" would be preposterous.
