Szemantikai

Szemantikai is a Hungarian adjective meaning related to semantics or the study of meaning. It is used to form attributive phrases describing aspects of meaning in language, logic, and related fields, such as szemantikai jelentés (semantic meaning) or szemantikai hálózat (semantic network).

Etymology and scope: the term derives from szemantika, the Hungarian word for semantics, which itself comes from the Greek semantikos “significant” and sema “sign.” Szemantika covers how words, phrases, and sentences convey meaning, including lexical semantics, compositional semantics, and pragmatics.

In linguistics, szemantikai concerns focus on how linguistic expressions encode and convey meaning. This includes the study of word meanings (lexical semantics), how meanings combine in phrases and sentences (compositional semantics), and how context affects interpretation (pragmatics). Szemantikai analysis contrasts with syntaktikai (syntactic) analysis, which studies structure rather than meaning.

In philosophy of language, semantics explores reference, truth conditions, and how speech acts relate to real-world interpretation. In computer science and information technology, semantic approaches underpin areas such as formal semantics, natural language processing, knowledge graphs, the semantic web, and ontologies, aiming to represent and manipulate meaning computationally.

Usage and examples: the term appears in academic and technical texts to label theories, models, or tools dealing with meaning, for instance szemantikai elemzés, szemantikai modell, or szemantikai keresés. Overall, szemantikai denotes the meaning-related dimension across disciplines.
