Semantics is the study of meaning in human communication. It examines semantic relations like synonymy, where words have the same meaning, antonymy, where words have opposite meanings, polysemy, where words have multiple meanings, homophony where words sound the same but have different meanings, and the difference between connotation, the implied or cultural meaning, and denotation, the strict or literal meaning.
