                           Semantics

What is meaning...?
Meaning is kind of the things can mean something. Word...? Signs...? Symbols...? Or body language...? You can think of all this posibble can mean something.
We are really interested in meaning.sometimes we are not sure about the message we should get from something we read or maybe we hear,and we concerned about getting our own message accross the others.

How about semantics.....?
Semantics....is a branch of linguistics which relates wiyh meaning. Semantics is considered as a study of meaning in language. It deals with the expression of linguistics object such as word, phrases, and sentences.not with the arrangement with their syntatic parts or with the pronounciation.
You know there are two factors that make semantics become important and worthy study....

First, meaning is strictly connected with communication. A certain meaning can be delivered throught communication plays an important role in human life(meaning in human language).
Second, thr process of human attempts to comprehead the nature of meaninf involves the mental ability by the use of reasoning and perception.

Semantics process:
* Human expression
Include sound and proxemics(body language).
* intrepretation
Include circumstances and context
* understanding
Like as language

Two kind of semantics:
* conotatif(Allegory)
* denotatif(reality)

And with semantics we can share the meaning and know how meaning can change overtime(such as old english and modern language).And we use be a new words in language. Because word told necessary of fix independent meaning.

Semantics also at the centre of the study of the human mind-thought process, cognition and conceptualization(by leech 1989:lx)
