You mention type systems and their analysis is one other formalism.
Another I thought of which is maybe an odd edge case are PEGs (Parsing
Expression Grammars).  They are non-ambiguous grammars and their
semantics are limited/defined in the "mother" language.  However, I
would argue that going from the semantics in a PEG to general semantic
"text/word/explanation" would be very difficult.
