Definition of Semantic

Semantic is known as meaning of the word.
Semantic also define as the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.

According to Katz (1972 : 1), He wrote that “Semantics is the study of linguistic meaning. It is concered with what sentence and other linguistics object express, not with the arrangement with their syntactic parts or with their pronounciation.”

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." 

Thus, semantic is important for our life especially in linguistic and i choose that because I like to interpret a person's words.

    1. Yes, semantics can be said with the meaning of words, but can also learn about things that are related to the meaning of words. for example, "I'm tired". what we mean here is someone who is tired and needs rest. but in semantics, many meanings are related to fatigue. whether tired in terms of mind, body, or something else.

    2. I think the explanation that I made is simple and easy to understand, if that's all you don't understand, what about semantic words? if you want further explanation, let's face to face, because semantics are more interesting if spoken verbally, simple right?

    1. Yes, maybe according to pragmatic people not everyone can understand semantics. but for semantics, if that person has a real intention to learn it, then nothing is impossible in this world and I never said that pragmatic is not important.
