SEMANTICS

Variously located in logic, linguistics, philosophy and communication research, the study of how and what a sign, symbol, message or system means to an observer. For some, semantics is that branch of semiotics (the study of human behavior in the process of communication) which is concerned with the relationship between signs and referents or with the constraint imposed by non-linguistic phenomena on choices among linguistic expressions. (Krippendorff)
