SEMANTICS (again)(just little)
As we know, Semantics is one
branch of Linguistics.
Semantics is study about meaning . meaning has been given different definition in past.and as we know, every words has a meaning. And every sentences has a word. Its wonder every sentences has a meaning.

Sometimes semantics is called
studying meaning words and sentences structure. Semantics
can also refer to the branch of study within linguistics that deals with
language and how we understand meaning. This has been a particularly
interesting field for philosophers as they debate the essence of meaning, how
we build meaning, how we share meaning with others, and how meaning changes
over time.
Even though you
have probably never seen this sentence, you can easily see things like the
following:
1. The sentence is about the abilities of
whoever spoke or wrote it. (Call this
person the speaker.)
2. It's also about a knot, maybe one that the
speaker is pointing at.
3. The sentence denies that the speaker has a
certain ability. (This is the
contribution of the word ‘can't'.)
4. Untying is a way of making something not tied.
The sentence
doesn't mean that the knot has one hand; it has to do with how many hands are
used to do the untying
One part of studying a language
is knowing the many meanings of individual words. Here are some examples of
words with more than one meaning:
With multiple meaning :
1. A female animal
can be a tigress, ewe, hen, doe, mother, daughter or sister
Without meaning :
1. Chevron gasoline
with F-310
Word are play on words:
1. "One morning I shot an elephant in my
pajamas. How he got into my pajamas
I'll never know."-Groucho Marx
