SEMANTIC

Semantic is the study about meaning of words, sentencen structure and symbols.
Semantic is all about meaning. One word can has two or more meaning.
For example
Book (n) <> Book (v)
Watch (n) <> Watch (v)
Cool (a) <> Cool (n)
Etc.
The purpose of semantic is to propose exact meanings of the words and phrases and remove confusion, which might lead the readers to believe a word has many possible meanings.
Types of Semantic
There are two types of semantics:
Connotative Semantic and Denotative Semantic
