Semantics

            Semantics is one branch of linguistics. Besides semantics, there are also phonology, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics. However, on this occasion, I want to share about the definition or the definition of semantics only. In general, semantics is the branch of linguistics that examines the meaning of a word or sentence. However, there are many versions of this semantic sense. Understanding the different semantics is actually expected to develop the discipline of linguistics very wide-ranging. Well, we'll see the results of some of the views or ideas from experts below on Semantics.

    Charles Morris

Suggests that semantic examine "relations with the signs of objects which is a container application of these signs."

     J.W.M Verhaar; 1981: 9

Suggests that the semantics means a theory of meaning or significance theory, namely branch investigating systematic language meaning or significance.

    Lehrer; 1974: 1

Semantics is the study of meaning. For Lehrer, semantics is a very broad field of study, because it helped offensive aspects of the structure and function of the language so that it can be connected with psychology, philosophy and anthropology.

    Kambartel (in Bauerk, 1979: 195)

Semantics assumes that the language consists of a structure that reveals the meaning when linked to the objects in the world of human experience.

    Dr. Mansoer Pateda

Semantics is subdisiplin discuss linguistic meaning.

  

  Abdul Chaer

Semantics is the study of meaning or the meaning. That is one of 3 (three) level of analysis of language (phonology, grammatical and semantic).

    Ferdinand de Saussure (1966)

Semantics consists of:

1. Components which interpret, tangible shapes and sounds.

2. The components are interpreted or meaning of the first component.

    Drs. Aminuddin, M.Pd

Semantics implies the study of meaning to the notion that the meaning becomes part of the language, the semantic part of linguistics.
