Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It is a branch of linguistics that examines how meaning is constructed and interpreted through signs and symbols like words, phrases, and sentences. Understanding semantics is essential for studying language acquisition and how meaning can be constructed, clarified, or obscured through things like ambiguity, synonyms, and context.

1. INTRODUCTI
ON TO
SEMANTICS

3. is the technical term used to refer to
the study of meaning, and, since
meaning is a part of language,
semantics is a part of linguistics.

4. Semantics is the branch of
linguistics that deals with the study of
meaning, changes in meaning, and the
principles that govern the relationship
between sentences or words and their
meanings.
It is the study of the relationships
between signs and symbols and what
they represent.

5. An understanding of semantics is
essential to the study of language
acquisition.
The study of semantics includes the
study of how meaning is constructed,
interpreted, clarified, obscured,
illustrated, simplified, negotiated,
contradicted, and paraphrased

6. The noun semantics and the adjective
semantic are derived from the Greek word
semantikos (“significant”).
In linguistics, semantics is the subfield that is
devoted to the study of meaning, as borne on the
syntactic levels of words, phrases, sentences, and
sometimes larger units of discourse, generically
referred to as texts.

7.  To understand language we need to know the
meaning of words and the morphemes that
compose them. We also must know how the
meanings of words combine into phrases and
sentence meanings. Finally, we must consider
context when determining meaning.
 The study of the linguistic meaning of
morphemes, words, phrases, and sentences is
called Semantics.

language?

Mention kind of symbol!

12.  Can conotation change in a long time? Give
example!
 What make the word meaning change?
 Explain about polysemy and give example!
 What is the different between sign and
symbol!
