Semantics Semantics is the study of the meaning of linguisti. In fact, semantics is one of the main branches of contemporary linguistics. Theoretical computer scientists and logicians think about artificial languages. In some areas of computer science, these divisions are crossed. In machine translation, for instance, computer scientists may want to relate natural language texts to abstract representations of their meanings; to do this, they have to design artificial languages for representing meanings.

    Semantics is the study of meaning. that is used for understanding human expression throungh language.Other forms of semantics include the semantics of programming language,formal logics,and semiotics.In internatinal scientific vocabolary semantics is also called semasiology.Semantics contrasts with syntax,the study of the combinatorics of units of a language,and pragmatics,relationship between of language.

Semantics is the study of linguistic meaning of morphemes,words,pharares,and sentences.Subfields of Semantics are;

a).Lexical Semantics

   Is concerned with the meaning of words and the meaning relationship among words.

b).Phrasal or sentelal Semantics is concerned with the meaning of syntactic units Pragmatics the word.

      Semantics is the study of meaning in language.  The term is taken from the Greek seme, meaning sign.   The word meaning can be defined in many ways, but the definition most pertinent to linguistics and the one we will use is that meaning is "the function of signs in language."  This understanding of meaning corresponds to German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's definition: 'the meaning of a word is its use in the language' (in other words, the role a word plays in the language).  

      Linguists have a second way of looking at the distinction between linguistic and real-world knowledge.  They often discuss the difference between a word's sense and its reference. The distinction between        The linguistic division of concepts is in part arbitrary and idiosyncratic to each language, in part motivated by factors actually present in the real world.
