Abstract
In this paper I want to discuss some problems of semantics which, as it seems to me, are crucial with respect to many topics under discussion in present-day semantics but which have so far remained almost unnoticed. I presuppose as the general frame of discussion the theory of generative grammar in the form which has become known under the name of generative semantics.
