3. Sentence VS Speaker meaning
Sentence meaning is what a sentence means.
There is often a divergence between the
meaning of the linguistic expression a speaker
uses and the meaning he intends to
communicate by using it.

10. Speech Acts
An utterance considered as an action,
particularly with regard to its intention,
purpose, or effect. A speech act is an
utterance that serves a function in
communication. We perform speech acts
when we offer an apology, greeting, request,
complaint, invitation, compliment, or refusal.

16. Semantics VS pragmatics effects
• Semantics is the study of meaning. It focuses
on the relation between signifiers
like words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and
what they stand for their denotation.
• Pragmatics is a subfield
of linguistics and semiotics that studies the
ways in which context contributes to meaning

21. Semantic field
• Semantic field is a set of words grouped
semantically, referring to a specific subject.
