Abstract

This study discusses the concept of semantics and the various types of semantics in linguistic studies. Semantics is a branch of linguistics that studies meaning, including lexical, grammatical, and contextual meanings within a language unit. The purpose of this research is to explain the basic definition of semantics, its scope of study, and to identify the different types of semantics that have developed in modern linguistic theory. The method used in this study is library research by analyzing various theoretical sources such as books, journals, and relevant scientific articles. The results show that semantics plays a crucial role in understanding meaning at the levels of words, phrases, and sentences. The types of semantics include lexical semantics, grammatical semantics, referential semantics, and contextual semantics, each focusing on different aspects but interrelated in constructing meaning. By understanding the concepts and types of semantics, researchers and language learners can gain deeper insights into how meaning functions in communication and the role of context in interpreting language.
