Semantics is the study of linguistic meaning—investigating what meaning is, how words acquire their meaning, and how the meaning of complex expressions depends on their component parts. It matters because understanding semantics helps us grasp how language connects to the world and our thoughts, including how words relate to the ideas they express and the objects they point to.

La semántica lingüística es un subcampo de la semántica general y de la lingüística que estudia la codificación del significado dentro de las expresiones lingüísticas. Etimológicamente, el término viene del griego σημαντικός sēmantikós, que quería decir 'significado relevante', derivada de σῆμα sêma, lo que significaba 'signo'.
