    1) Semantics is a branch of linguistics that studies the meaning of language. It focuses on the relationship between words, phrases, and how they relate to the world. 2) Pragmatics is similar to semantics but studies how speakers use language to communicate and accomplish goals. It looks at the relationship between speakers and listeners to understand intended meaning based on context. 3) There are several branches of semantics including formal semantics, lexical semantics, and conceptual semantics. Formal semantics studies logical aspects of meaning. Lexical semantics analyzes word meanings and relations. Conceptual semantics examines the cognitive structure of meaning.

    Linguistics is the study of language, its form and its function. Words are arranged
    in a certain order, and sometimes the beginnings and endings of the words are
    changed to adjust the meaning. Linguistics is the study of all of this.

    But this video is about Semantics. Semantics is a branch of linguistics. Like any
    other branches, Semantics has a specific purpose. These are three things you may
    not know about Semantics:

    Number three: The study


    Semantics alike any other branch of Linguistics, studies a certain part of the
    language. Morphology, for example, studies the structure of words; and Syntax the
    structure of sentences. Well, Semantics studies the meaning of language.
    Language has a form and a function to convey meaning. These two elements
    altogether are part of the process of the Speech circuit. Semantics deals with what
    the coder and the decoder try to convey when they communicate.

    Number two: Pragmatics relationship


    Semantics is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between words,
    phrases and other bits of language and on how these words and phrases connect
    to the world. Pragmatics is similar, but it involves the study of how speakers of a
    language use the language to communicate and accomplish what they want.
    Pragmatics looks more at the relationship between speaker and listener which
    allows assumptions to be made about the intended message, considering, for
    example, the way context contributes to meaning. A classic example is where
    someone is asked "Do you want some coffee?" Does the reply "Coffee will keep
    me awake" mean yes or no? It depends whether the person wants to stay awake -
    and the questioner will only understand the intended meaning if they know whether
    the person wants to stay awake.

    Number one: Semantics and its branches


    Semantics is also the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.
    There are a number of branches and subbranches of semantics, including formal
    semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense, reference,
    implication, and logical form, lexical semantics, which studies word meanings and
    word relations, and conceptual semantics, which studies the cognitive structure of
    meaning.
