Sentence VS Speaker meaning

Sentence meaning is what a sentence means. There is often a divergence between the meaning of the linguistic expression a speaker uses and the meaning he intends to communicate by using it.

Speech Acts

An utterance considered as an action, particularly with regard to its intention, purpose, or effect. A speech act is an utterance that serves a function in communication. We perform speech acts when we offer an apology, greeting, request, complaint, invitation, compliment, or refusal.

Semantics VS pragmatics effects

• Semantics is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between signifiers like words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and what they stand for their denotation.

• Pragmatics is a subfield of linguistics and semiotics that studies the ways in which context contributes to meaning

Semantic field

• Semantic field is a set of words grouped semantically, referring to a specific subject.
