You think semantics is about word meanings. Well, it isn't. Look it up.

Sandman
You're hilarious.

Oxford: semantics pl.noun the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/semantics?s=t "Linguistics - the study of meaning."

World English Dictionary: "1. the branch of linguistics that deals with the study of meaning"

Eric Stevens
Yes, but it's not just the meaning of words: it's at least the meaning of expressions coonducted wiith words.

Hahahaha! The semantic trolling continues from Eric. Now he wants to exclude "words" when talking about the meaning of linguistics and language. What's your latest angle, that semantics is the meaning of geastures? Sound? :-D

Sandman
Word Origin & History: "science of meaning in language"

Eric Stevens
No mention of words as individuals.

"words as individuals", the last words from a sinking man who refuses to accept that any language contains words.

Sandman
Medical Dictionary: "The study or science of meaning in language forms."

Eric Stevens
No meaning of words as individuals.

Haha! Hilarious!!

Sandman
Cultural Dictionary: "The scientific or philosophical study of the relations of words and their meanings."

Eric Stevens
Not the meaning of words but the relation of words and their meanings (in their relationship is implied).

Eric goes "*lalalalalalala* can't hear you!"

Sandman
And I repeat:

"You think semantics is about word meanings. Well, it isn't" - Eric Stevens

Eric Stevens
I will be more precise: You think semantics is just about word meanings. Well, it isn't.

That's not what you said, now is it? You have a problem expressing yourself clearly and I make fun of that. You make explicit claims and you can *NEVER* back them up in any shape or form.

Here's a pro tip for you, stop making explicit claims!
