semantiku

Semantiku is a term used in linguistics and language technology to discuss semantics—the study of meaning in language. In theoretical contexts, Semantiku can denote approaches that emphasize context, discourse, and speaker interpretation in meaning, rather than a single fixed interpretation. In Indonesian-language discussions, the root semantik means semantics, and the suffix -ku can signal a personal perspective, which some writers use to signal an individualized semantic analysis.

In computational linguistics, Semantiku is also the name given to a proposed open-source framework for semantic analysis of text. The project envisions a modular architecture with components for lexical semantics, semantic role labeling, disambiguation, and ontology integration, with an emphasis on interoperability with common data formats and knowledge graphs. While described as language-agnostic, the design prioritizes Indonesian and related languages.

Status and reception are informal: the term is used mainly in theoretical discussions and illustrative exercises rather than as a widely adopted standard. If a concrete implementation is developed, Semantiku would be expected to compete with existing NLP libraries and semantic tools, depending on community adoption, licensing, and ecosystem support.
