denotational

This is not to say that an overblown articulation lacks some denotational insight, I stress, but to say it lacks connotational impact.

In contrast, a denotational semantics (Milne & Strachey 1977) provides an interpretation into mathematical structures such as sets or categories.

Is it that denotational semantics, being explicitly based upon mathematical structures such as sets, is mathematical whereas operational semantics is not?

The Philosophy of Computer Science Turner, Raymond 2008

However, even this does not exactly line up with the traditional operational/denotational divide.

What is the difference between operational and denotational semantics?

The Philosophy of Computer Science Turner, Raymond 2008

Some denotational definitions have a recursive model and some do not.

The Philosophy of Computer Science Turner, Raymond 2008

But does it provide us with a wedge to separate operational and denotational semantics?
