Definition
"A semântica" refers to the branch of linguistics that studies the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences, and how these meanings influence understanding and communication within a language.
The term "a semântica" comes from the Greek word 'semantikos,' meaning 'significant' or 'having meaning.' It entered Portuguese through Latin and French, reflecting its focus on meaning in language. Did you know that semantics originally related more broadly to signs and symbols before narrowing to language meaning?
