Semantik

 Semantik adalah cabang linguistik yang mempelajari arti/makna yang terkandung pada suatu bahasa, kode, atau jenis representasi lain.

 Semantic theoretical concepts and contributions are seen from two perspective (interested in the core meaning of linguistic expression), (sense), and from the philosopher,s perspective (interested in the reference of linguistic expression and truth of sentences).

There are various types of linguistic sense that are possible among words. some of them are:
 Polysemy
Synonimy
Hyponimy
Antonimy
Semantic overlap and
Idiomaticity.

Polysemy :There are some words which have more than one sense or a range of meanings.
example : pokok artinya : Tree, Main, interest.
synonimy: Some words have the same sense or values for all their semantic features, although this feature is always partial or never complete.
Example:Riang, gembira, senang hati
Hyponimy:This is the relatinship of words where a word is a words whose meaning contains the entire meaning of another word, the superordinate.
Example Flowers : Orchid, rose, jasmine
Antonimy: This relationship between words indicates oppositeness of meaning.
Example: besar>< kecil, Tua.><muda
Semantic overlap: Semantic overlap occurs when some of the semantic features that constitute the meaning of the words involved have the same value.
Example: Colour: purple, white, yellow, teacher, lecturer,instructor.
Idiomaticity: An idiom is a group of words whose meaning cannot be explained in terms of the habitual or individual meaning of the component words that make up the phrase.
