Semanticky

Semanticky is an adverb used in Czech and Slovak to indicate relation to semantics or meaning. It derives from the adjective semantický (semantic) and is employed when discussing how language, signs, or data relate to meaning rather than form, syntax, or practical use. In linguistic and philosophical contexts, semanticky is used to qualify statements about meaning, interpretation, or truth conditions of expressions.

Etymology and usage notes: the term comes from the Greek root sema, meaning sign, through the word semantika. Semanticky typically contrasts with syntakticky (relating to syntax) and pragmaticky (relating to use or context). For example, one might speak of semanticky význam slova (the semantic meaning of a word) or semanticky správná interpretace (a meaningfully correct interpretation).

In information technology, semanticky oriented language and practices aim to encode meaning in data. This includes semanticky značkovaná metadata, ontologies, and the principles of the Semantic Web, where data are annotated so machines can reason about content. Such usage emphasizes interpretation and interoperability over mere structural representation.

Overall, semanticky functions as a linguistic tool to draw attention to meaning, interpretation, and the intellectual content of expressions, data, and theories, rather than their surface form. See also semantika, semantic web, ontology, metadata.
