Abstract: Two families of relational semantics for relevant logics, the ternary relation and the Fine-style, or operational-relational, semantics are compared on point of interpretation.Following Punčochář, it's noted that the former kind tend to be given ontic or realist styles of interpretation, whereas the latter tend to be given epistemic or informational styles.The equivalence between these semantic approaches means that we can have both in one setting (with one grounded in the other), but it's argued that, nonetheless, there are reasons to prefer a version which takes the realist interpretation as basic and the informational one as grounded in it.The resulting, layered, semantic picture is sketched, and an application to the Mares-Goldblatt interpretation of quantifiers is proposed.
