This document discusses semantics and meanings in language. It defines semantics as the study of meaning in words, phrases, and sentences. Meaning exists in the mind and we express meaning through language. Philosophers have debated the relationship between words and their meanings for over 2000 years. More recently, thinkers have argued that the meaning of a word is the concept it represents in the mind rather than the object itself. The document goes on to discuss different types of meanings including denotative meaning, social meaning, thematic meaning, and sentence versus utterance meaning. It also covers topics like semantic roles, ambiguity, sense and reference, entailment, and presupposition.

AI and Machine Learning Demystified by Carol Smith at Midwest UX 2017Carol Smith
What is machine learning? Is UX relevant in the age of artificial intelligence (AI)? How can I take advantage of cognitive computing? Get answers to these questions and learn about the implications for your work in this session. Carol will help you understand at a basic level how these systems are built and what is required to get insights from them. Carol will present examples of how machine learning is already being used and explore the ethical challenges inherent in creating AI. You will walk away with an awareness of the weaknesses of AI and the knowledge of how these systems work.
It is my PPt about Semantics and Pragmatics; it only ver basic information about it, but hopefully it will be useful for your educational process or useful as your reading resources. You can contact me if you have a suggestion, critique, or maybe we can discuss this topic further.
All linguistic forms have sense, but not reference.
The linguistic forms with the same sense may have different references in different situations.
Some linguistic forms with the same reference might differ in sense.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Semantics and Meanings
Semantics
Semantics is the study of the meaning of (words, phrase and sentence) language. We know that
language is used to express meanings which can be understood by others. But meanings exist in
our minds and we can express what is in our minds through the spoken and written forms of
language (gestures and actions). The sound pattern of the language is studied in the level of
phonology and the organization of words and sentences is studied at the level of morphology and
syntax. These are organized in such a way that we can convey meaningful message or receive or
understand message. How language organized in order to be meaningful? Semantics is that level
of linguistic analysis where meaning is analyzed.
Meaning
Philosophers have puzzled over this question for 2000 years. Their thinking begins from
the question of the relationship between words and the objects which words represent. For
example we may ask: what is the meaning of the word “cow”? One answer would be that it
refers to animal, who has certain properties, that distinguish it from other animals, who are called
by other names, where do the names come from and why does the word “cow” mean only that
particular animal and none other? Some thinker say that there is no essential connection between
the word “cow” and the animal indicated by the word, but we have established this connection
by convention.
This fact gives rise to the view held by later thinkers that the meaning of a word is not the
object it refers to, but the concept of the object that exists in the mind. Moreover, as de Saussure
pointed out, the relation between the word (signifier) and the concept (signified) is an arbitrary
one, i.e. the word does not resemble the concept.
3. L.K.Ogden and I.A.Richards made an attempt to define meaning.
1. An intrinsic property of some language
2. Other words related to that word in a dictionary
3. The thing to which the speaker of that word refers
4. The thing to which the speaker of that word should refer
5. The thing to which the speaker of that word believe himself to be referring
6. The thing to which the speaker of that word believe in being referred.
Conceptual and associative meaning:
When we investigate the meaning of words in a language, we are normally interested in
characterizing the conceptual and associative meaning and less concerned with the associative
meaning of the word. Conceptual meaning covers those basic, essential components of meaning
that are conveyed by the literal use of a word. Associative meaning different people have
different associations.
Denotative meaning: The logical meaning, which indicates the essential qualities of a concept
which distinguish it from other concepts. The concept is a minimal unit of meaning which could
be called a Sememe in the way as the unit of sound is called phoneme. Just as the phoneme /b/
may be bilabial + voiced + plosive.
Social meaning: It is the meaning that a word possesses by virtue of its use in particular social
situation and circumstances. The words domicile, residence, abode, home.
Domicile is used in the official context and abode is used in poetic context, residence is in a
formal context and home is used in the normal context
Thematic meaning: It lies in the manner in which a message is organized for emphasis.
4. Semantic roles:
Instead of thinking of words as a “container” of meaning, we can look at the “roles” they fulfill
within the situation described by a sentence.
Lexical and grammatical meaning.
Lexical or word meaning is the meaning of individual lexical items. These are of two types: the
open class lexical items such as noun, verbs, adjectives and adverbs and the close class lexical
items preposition, conjunction and determiners.
Understanding ambiguity.
i.
Lexical ambiguity
(e.g): I saw him in the bank
ii.
Grammatical ambiguity
(e.g): The parents of the bride and the groom were waiting
Sense and reference:
The signs refer to the concepts as well as to other concepts. A sign is symbol that indicates a
concept. This is the reference, which refers in turn to some object in the real world, called the
referent. The relationship between linguistic items and non-linguistic world of experience is a
relationship of reference.
Concept (Reference)
Word (Symbol)
Object (Referent)
5. Sentence and utterance meaning.
Sentence is the grammatical unit which contains a logical statement or
preposition, utterance is the speaking or writing of a sentence by a user, in a
context.
I don’t like coffee.
It’s cold in here.
Entailment and presupposition.
One sentence entails another when it includes the meaning of the other sentence.
One sentence presupposes another when it implies an earlier meaning which is
known.
