| semantics |
in the study of language, semantics is concerned with the meaning of words, expressions and sentences, often in relation to reference and truth. Semantics is contrasted with syntax (the study of logical or grammatical form) and pragmatics (the study of the contribution of contextual factors to the meaning of what language users say). Meta-semantic theories study key semantic notions such as meaning and truth and how these notions are related.

| semiotics |
the study of the sign-systems by which meaningful communication or literary discourse occurs. As understood by semiotics, in a linguistic event a set of conventions (langue) is used to express a particular meaning (parole). The linguistic event in turn has meaning to a receiver able to apply a set of conventions to its signs. The operations by which a reader/receiver interprets signs and makes them meaningful is termed naturalization.
