Semantikainyelvi refers to the study of meaning in language. It explores how words, phrases, sentences, and entire texts convey meaning. This field investigates the relationships between linguistic expressions and the concepts or entities they represent in the world. Semantics is a crucial subfield of linguistics, working closely with other areas such as syntax (sentence structure) and pragmatics (language use in context).

The scope of semantics is broad, encompassing lexical semantics, which deals with the meaning of individual words, and compositional semantics, which focuses on how the meanings of words combine to create the meaning of larger units. Researchers in semantics analyze various aspects of meaning, including denotation (literal meaning), connotation (associated or implied meanings), ambiguity (multiple possible meanings), and metaphor. They also examine how meaning can change over time and across different contexts.

Understanding semantics is vital for many applications, including natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and communication studies. By deciphering the underlying meaning of language, we can develop more sophisticated computer systems that can understand and generate human language, and improve our understanding of human communication and thought processes.
