What is Semantics? Semantics is a sub discipline of linguistics which focuses on the study of meaning. Semantics tries to understand what meaning is as an element of language and how it is constructed by language as well as interpreted, obscured and negotiated by speakers and listeners of language.
Areas of Semantics Logical Semantics Lexical Semantics
EXPERT OF SEMANTICS 1. Richard Montague (1930-1971) He was an American mathematician and philosopher Studied at The University of California, Berkeley, earning a BA in Philosophy in 1950, an MA in Mathematics in 1953 and PhD in Philosophy in 1957.He pioneered a logical approach to natural language semantics, which became know as the Montague Grammar.
2. Donald Davidson (1917-2003) Was an American philosopher born in Springfield, Massachusetts. Served as Professor of Philosophy at The University ofCalifornia from 1981-2003. Developed an inspired approach to truth-conditional semantics Famously said "there is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing tobe learned, mastered, or born with."
3. Ray Jackendoff (1945- ) American linguist and professor of philosophy at Tufts University. Mainly developed the semantic framework of Conceptual semantics which aim is to provide a characterization of the conceptual elements by which a person understands words and sentences to provide an explanatory semantic representation (title of a Jackendoff 1976 paper) Built on the work of Noam Chomsky and his ideas on the acquisition of language.
Why is semantics studied? Semantics is studied for a number of different reasons but perhaps one of the main ones could be: "If we view Semantics as the study of meaning then it becomes central to the study of communication which in turn is an imortant factor in how society is organised."[1] The aim of semantics is to discover why meaning is more complex than simply the words written down in a sentence. Semantics will ask questions such as: "why is the structure of a sentence important to the meaning of the sentence? "What are the semantic relationships between words and sentences?"
