SEMANTICS
Hai guys…
I want to tell you about semantics, do you know what is semantics?? I think some of you know what is semantics , so if you do not what is semantics don’t worry guys I will to try explain for us.
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. Although it can be conceived as concerned with meaning in general, it is often confined to those aspects which are relatively stable and context free, in contrast to pragmatics, which is concerned with meaning variation with context.
Feature Semantics
- Semantics is Study Relations BETWEEN mark ( emblem ) WITH The object referenced by the Signs
- · Semantics is Study Regarding Meaning.
The study of semantics includes the study of how meaning is constructed, interpreted, clarified, obscured, illustrated, simplified, negotiated, contradicted, and paraphrased.
The noun semantics and the adjective semantic are derived from the Greek word semantikos(“significant”). In 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 astext.
Some important areas of semantic theory or related subjects include these:
• Symbol and referent
• Conceptions of meaning
• Words and lexemes
• Denotation, connotation, implication
• Pragmatics
• Ambiguity
• Metaphor, simile and symbol
• Semantic fields
• Synonym, antonym and hyponym
• Collocation, fixed expression and idiom
• Semantic change and etymology
• Polysemy
• Homonymy, homophones and homographs
Study of the linguistic meaning of morphemes, words, phrases, and sentences is called Semantics.
Subfields of semantics are lexical (of or relating to the vocabulary, words, or morphemes of a language) semantics, which is concerned with the meanings of words, and the meaning relationships among words; and phrasal or sentential semantics, which is concerned with the meaning of syntactic units larger than the word.
Type of semantics :
1. connotative semantics
2. denotative semantics
I think that's all from me thank you.....
GOD BLESS
Give me a reason why the semantic is important to entre my lesson?
BalasHapusBecause in learning semantics we will know what the word means
HapusWhat the different connotative and denotative semantic ??
BalasHapusDenotative meaning is the literal meaning of a word without an accompanying meaning, as connotative meaning is the meaning of a word that has a link of thoughts, feelings, and others that give rise to certain sense values. In other words, denotative meaning is a general meaning, while connotative meaning is more personal and special
HapusHow do we practice semantics in our language to make people understand what's our meaning ?
BalasHapusThe easiest way to get people to understand what we mean is to understand the pattern or the way someone we are communicating means the words or sentences we speak. Do it with simple conversations by asking, "how are you doing", "how he saw a problem ", etc. When we know the pattern of meaning of the person, all we need to do is adjust our language pattern so that it matches the semantics of our interlocutor
HapusExactly what are symbol and referent, words and lexemes, denotation, connotation, implication, hyponym, collocation, fixed expression and idiom, polysemy and sentential?
BalasHapusDenotative meaning is a general meaning, while connotative meaning is more personal and special.
HapusHyponymy is an inter-relationship relationship that shows superiors and subordinate hierarchies.
Idiomatic meanings are meanings in idioms, meanings that deviate from the conceptual and grammatical meanings of their constituent elements.
Polisemi is the meaning relationship of a word that has more than one meaning or a word that has different meanings but still in one channel of meaning
please give the examples!
BalasHapusExamples of semantic meanings:
Hapus1. Grammatical Meanings
"Smelling" means "Has smell"
2. Constitutional Meanings
My sister fell off the motorbike
I fell in love
Her pride fell
The three falling words have different meanings. The meaning is different depending on the process.
why u choose semantic?
BalasHapusBecause I really like playing with meaning and like analyzing words
Hapusjust it? do u want be a expert of this study?
HapusOh of course
Hapuswhy you interest to be expert of semantic?
HapusBecause there are so many benefits
Hapuswhat benefit?
HapusFor us, a student majoring in language, the purpose of studying semantics is to make it easier to analyze language (both the language he has learned, the language he has not learned, and the language he will learn), easier to learn meaning in language, then if a student wants to be a teacher can make it easier for him to explain the meaning of certain words to prospective students
Hapusthen what is your next plan to get the expert semantic title
HapusBy not stopping to understand it and develop the semantics themselves
HapusWhat jobs are suitable for semantic experts?
HapusYes according to his understanding. semantics work in interpreting a word
Hapuslike a translator?
HapusYes, it is true
HapusTina, i love your blog, but, Can U Explain, why do semantics have an important role in language teaching, including teaching English as a foreign language?
BalasHapusBecause in learning semantics we will know what the word means
HapusDoes semantics have related with grammar ?
BalasHapusYes, of course
HapusTin please give example of the both types of semantic about connotative semantic and denotative semantic.
BalasHapusDenotative example: a thin word means a person's body condition that is smaller than a normal size.
HapusA connotative example: thin connotes neutral.
lean positive connotation
skinny negative connotation
How do you can applied semantics in your study?
BalasHapusThe easiest way to get people to understand what we mean is to understand the pattern or the way someone we are communicating means the words or sentences we speak. Do it with simple conversations by asking, "how are you doing", "how he saw a problem ", etc. When we know the pattern of meaning of the person, all we need to do is adjust our language pattern so that it matches the semantics of our interlocutor
Hapuswhy morphemes, words, phrases called semantic?
BalasHapusBecause therefore all learn about the meaning of language
Hapustry giving examples of semantics in everyday life
BalasHapusAri is sweating coldly waiting for her job interview turn this afternoon. (Meaning: Ari is nervous waiting for his job interview turn this afternoon.)
HapusThank you... It's better if you develop it
BalasHapusOkay, thank you
HapusCan we do applied simantics in our daily conversation??
BalasHapusYes of course, you can
Hapuswhat the meaning of Homonymy, homophones and homographs?
BalasHapusHomonyms are words that have different meanings but pronunciations or spellings are the same. If the pronunciation is equally called homophon, but if the same is the spelling it is called a homograph
HapusWhat the effec for life ?? If i applied to life?
BalasHapusWe can understand the meaning of a word
Hapuscan you tell me about connotative semantics ?
BalasHapusThe connotative meaning is the meaning of a word that has a connection between thoughts, feelings, and others that give rise to certain sense values. In other words, connotative meaning is more personal and special
Hapusas a teacher, how to bring the semantic theory into class that we teach?
BalasHapusBy explaining to students the exact meaning in a language. For students to know the exact meaning in a language.
Hapuswhat connotative semantics and denotative semantics explain?
BalasHapusDenotative meaning is the literal meaning of a word without an accompanying meaning, as connotative meaning is the meaning of a word that has a link of thoughts, feelings, and others that give rise to certain sense values. In other words, denotative meaning is a general meaning, while connotative meaning is more personal and special
Hapuswhat is the advantages of semantics compared to other linguistic branches??
BalasHapusBecause it connects meaning with context
HapusSemantic is same like idiom, isn't it?
BalasHapus
