Semantics is the study of meaning in language. In this writer's opinion, that means it is rarely unimportant:
Semantics: The branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.
Semantics has a number of branches:
- formal semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense, reference, implication, and logical form,
- lexical semantics, which studies word meanings and word relations, and;
- conceptual semantics, which studies the cognitive structure of meaning.
