In this non-science area of study, category members are organized around a core of most representative members in prototype theory. This field follows the principle of compositionality, which disregards implicatures. "Logic and Conversation" by Paul Grice introduced four maxims that distinguish this field. Violations in this field are marked by a pound sign. Noam Chomsky's sentence "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" illustrates the difference between this field and the field one level below it in complexity, (*) syntax. Entailments and presuppositions are relations in this field, in which set theory relations can be used to express truth conditions of declarative sentences. For 10 points, name this field of linguistics that concerns the literal meaning of sentences.
