Semantikë

Semantikë is the study of meaning in language. It explores how words, phrases, and sentences convey meaning and how that meaning is understood by humans. This field of linguistics examines the relationship between signs or symbols and what they represent. Semantikë delves into various aspects of meaning, including denotation, which is the literal or dictionary definition of a word, and connotation, which refers to the emotions or ideas associated with a word beyond its literal meaning. It also investigates semantic ambiguity, where a word or phrase can have multiple interpretations, and how context helps to resolve these ambiguities.

Furthermore, semantikë considers how meaning changes over time and across different cultures. It analyzes the structure of meaning within sentences, known as compositional semantics, and how the meanings of individual words combine to create the meaning of a larger unit. Researchers in semantikë use various methods to understand meaning, including logical analysis, cognitive experiments, and the examination of language use in real-world contexts. The ultimate goal is to develop a systematic understanding of how humans create, interpret, and communicate meaning through language. Semantikë is a fundamental component of linguistics, closely related to pragmatics, which studies meaning in context and how speakers use language to achieve their communicative intentions.
