The term semantic functionals does not have a single, consistently established meaning across linguistic theories. In formal semantics, functions map objects or other semantic values to semantic values, and functional expressions may denote functions that combine with arguments to yield interpretations [1][2]. However, without a specific theoretical framework establishing semantic functionals as a distinct technical term, it cannot be reliably equated with semantic functions or functional expressions, which are related but not necessarily equivalent concepts [1].
