Semantics is a foundation of lexicography.

The individual meanings of words, as opposed to the overall meaning of a passage

The semantics of a single preposition is a dissertation in itself.

The relationship between words or symbols and their intended meanings Semantic rules apply to spoken and written languages as well as programming languages See also syntax
The characterization, for a natural or artificial, language of relations between sentences such as sameness in meaning, semantic consequences (i e that if one sentence is true, such and so others must be true), and relationships between sentences and the world (truth) Characterizations of meaning and menaingfulness come under this heading See pragmatics and syntactics
The study of the meaning of language, including meaning at the word, sentence, and conversational level

 - the study of meanings in language
the branch of linguistics which studies meaning in language One can distinguish between the study of the meanings of words (lexical semantics) and the study of how the meanings of larger constituents come about (structural semantics)
In computer languages, the semantics are specified by the actions taken for each instance of the language, i e , the meaning of each statement See section Defining Language Semantics
The semantics of a programming language describe the relationship between the syntactical elements and the model of computation
The meaning of a statement
in the study of language, semantics is concerned with the meaning of words, expressions and sentences, often in relation to reference and truth Semantics is contrasted with syntax (the study of logical or grammatical form) and pragmatics (the study of the contribution of contextual factors to the meaning of what language users say) Meta-semantic theories study key semantic notions such as meaning and truth and how these notions are related
the study of meaning in language
the study of linguistic meaning
The rules defining what expressions and statements in a language mean (or what they do) Contrast syntax
Part of the structure of language, along with phonology, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics, which involves understanding the meaning of words, sentences, and texts
semantics is the study of meaning
The meaning associated with a set of symbols in a given language, which is determined by the syntactic structure of the symbols, as well as knowledge captured in an interpretative model See also: Syntax
Significance or meaning In the case of Dublin Core, the significance or intended meaning of individual metadata elements and their components
The study of relations between a representation and what it represents <Discussion> <References> Chris Eliasmith
the study of meaning As used by Charles Morris, that branch of semiotics devoted to studying the relationship between signs and their objects
The meaning of the various forms of instructions in a programming language
the meaning of a word, phrase, clause, or sentence, as opposed to its syntactic construction Same as "semiotics " See also: onomasiology
The form semantic is used as a modifier. Semantics is the branch of linguistics that deals with the meanings of words and sentences. Study of meaning, one of the major areas of linguistic study (see linguistics). Linguists have approached it in a variety of ways. Members of the school of interpretive semantics study the structures of language independent of their conditions of use. In contrast, the advocates of generative semantics insist that the meaning of sentences is a function of their use. Still another group maintains that semantics will not advance until theorists take into account the psychological questions of how people form concepts and how these relate to word meanings
