Semantics (from Ancient Greek: σημαντικός sēmantikós, "significant") is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between signifiers, like words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and what they stand for; their denotation. Linguistic semantics is the study of meaning that is used for understanding human expression through language. Other forms of semantics include the semantics of programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics. In international scientific vocabulary semantics is also called semasiology.
The word semantics was first used by Michel Bréal a French philologist, itself denotes a range of ideas—from the popular to the highly technical. It is often used in ordinary language for denoting a problem of understanding that comes down to word selection or connotation. This problem of understanding has been the subject of many formal enquiries, over a long period of time, especially in the field of formal semantics. In linguistics, it is the study of the interpretation of signs or symbols used in agents or communities within particular circumstances and contexts. Within this view, sounds, facial expressions, body language, and proxemics have semantic (meaningful) content, and each comprises several branches of study. In written language, things like paragraph structure and punctuation bear semantic content; other forms of language bear other semantic content.
This first E-Lecture related to the VLC class "Semantics and Pragmatics" provides an overview of the role of semantics within linguistics and its use in other disciplines. Furthermore, it discusses the central goals and objectives of semantics.
A short look at how meaning works when it comes to human words and signs in general. Learn about contributions from semantics, semiotics, logic and the philosophy of language to the study of meaning. This video touches on a few key topics: - semantics - meaning change & etymology - pragmatics - nonverbal communication - semiotics - definitions in logic - questions from the philosophy of language

Excerpt from Steve Stockdale's "Calling Out the Symbol Rulers," the 1st Annual Berman Lecture at UNLV, October 2004.
The executive producer of "The Simpsons" says Homer and Marge are legally separating, not breaking up.
How are lexemes and objects related? How can we define the relationships between the lexemes of a language? These questions are central to word semantics and defineits main branches reference and sense. This E-Lecture provides an overview of these main areas of word semantics.

This introductory E-Lecture about sentence semantics introduces the main principles and the central mechanisms involved in propositional and predicate logic. Additionally, it shows how entailment relations can be defined and applied and how the principles of quantification can be combined with predicates.
Sure hope you enjoy the conversation
Hope it was worth aggravating me
This guy is in line for my lady
If I could alter time just to change a situation
I hope one day you'll find the truth
About those two
The best friend and the lover
You'll soon discover that they never told you a God damn thing
It's been years since I've seen you
And I think it's about time that you knew
Everything you were denied and refuse
Will be coming back to haunt you
Double-crossed
Betrayed
You were lied to
And deceived
I made mistakes but I'm taking them back now
Dead set, caught up on my way out
Don't you know, for crying out loud
That this is so hard
Sure hope you enjoy the conversation
Hope it was worth aggravating me
This guy is in line for my lady
If I could alter time just to change a situation
What? You can't think, are you kidding me?
This influential third-party catastrophe
Has got you so wrapped up that you can't breathe
Or even speak to me
Double-crossed
Betrayed
I made mistakes but I'm taking them back now
Dead set, caught up on my way out
Don't you know, for crying out loud
That this is so hard
I've made mistakes but I'm taking them back now
Dead set, caught up on my way out
Don't you know, for crying out loud
That this is so hard
I'll politely decline
These words taste like poison
I'll politely decline
These words taste like poison
I made mistakes but I'm taking them back now
Dead set, caught up on my way out
Don't you know, for crying out loud
That this is so hard
I've made mistakes but I'm taking them back now
Dead set, caught up on my way out
Don't you know, for crying out loud
That this is so hard
(I'll politely decline
These words taste like poison)
I'll politely decline
