semantics

The subfield of linguistics which studies meaning that is used to understand human expression through language. The formal study of semantics intersects with many other fields of inquiry, including lexicology, syntax, pragmatics, etymology and others, although semantics is a well-defined field in its own right, often with synthetic properties.
