It looks like classic models of NLP semantics mostly punt on the "logical" point of view precisely due to these difficulties, and focus mostly on the more surface level problem of describing how each word of the source text correlates with a deeper description of the "meaning" of the text as a whole. So it is simply assumed that the meaning of the text as a whole must be derived compositionally from the meaning of each part (usually described by a somewhat ad-hoc "frame" structure), but exactly what that entails in a "logical" sense is left unspecified. UMR (Universal Meaning Representations) seems to be a typical example of such a system https://github.com/umr4nlp/umr-guidelines/blob/master/guidelines.md https://github.com/umr4nlp/umr-guidelines/blob/master/guidel... The expected use case seems to be something like building a common intermediate language for an automated translation system; individual meaning elements can then be "mapped" in a useful way, even across different languages, but there's not much interest apparently in "inferring" further knowledge from what one already has, or even on verifying that any given inference is valid (as proposed by OP).
