Difference between Donkey sentence and Dynamic semantics

Donkey sentence vs. Dynamic semantics

In semantics, a donkey sentence is a sentence containing a pronoun which is semantically bound but syntactically free. Dynamic semantics is a framework in logic and natural language semantics that treats the meaning of a sentence as its potential to update a context.

Conditional sentence

Conditional sentences are natural language sentences that express that one thing is contingent on something else, e.g. "If it rains, the picnic will be cancelled." They are so called because the impact of the main clause of the sentence is conditional on the dependent clause.

Existential quantification

In predicate logic, an existential quantification is a type of quantifier, a logical constant which is interpreted as "there exists", "there is at least one", or "for some".
