Semantics: The study of the way language signals meanings and their changes. A much broader use and application of semiotics, semantics includes the way words relate to what they signify (Frye et al. 425).

Semantics has a strong basing on syntax being that semantics is the way language signals relate to general meanings, or symbolic logic (Frye et al. 425).
