Henriëtte de Swart gained international renown with her important contribution to theoretical semantics: the study of meaning in natural language. Her technically innovative work is based on French semantics, but she has played a pioneering role in the development of cross-linguistic semantics and the use of semantic insights in analysing interaction and in linguistic typology. She is the author of Introduction to Natural Language.
