Hello guys ...
In this paper, I wanna give the little information about Semantics ..
Semantics is the study of meaning, usually in language. The word "semantics" itself denotes a range of ideas, from the popular to the highly technical. It is often used in ordinary language to denote a problem of understanding that comes down to the selection word or connotation. This problem of understanding has been the subject of many formal inquiries, over a long period of time.
There are a few defenitions of semantic based on experts :
1. J.W.M. Verhaar (1996:13) said that, “semantic is a linguistic branch that will discuss meaning”.
2. Abdul chaer (1994:284) said, “Semantic is language study which the object research is the language meaning”.
3. R.H. Robins (1992:24) has an opinion that, “meaning is an attribute not only from language, but also from the entire of sign and symbol system, and the teaching of meaning namely semantic”.
4. Aminuddin (1988:15) said, “Semantic is coming from Greek language it contains meaning ‘to signify’ or to make a meaning. So that, the technical term of semantic contains the definition of study about meaning".
Okay guys, I think it's enough for today to give you a liitle bit information about Semantic. So see you in my next post:)
