Language and Culture
Semantics is the study of meaning in language, focusing on how words, phrases, and sentences convey meaning. It examines not only the literal interpretation of language but also the nuances, connotations, and contextual implications that shape our understanding of communication. In the relationship between language and culture, semantics plays a crucial role in how different societies interpret concepts, values, and social norms, highlighting the interplay between linguistic expression and cultural context.
