?From the study of linguistics, semantics refers to "the study of the meaning of words and of word combinations in phrases and sentences" (Abrams, 215)?Ferdinand de Saussure did a lot of work in this area, introducing the concepts of the signifier and the signified.?Derrida built off of Saussure's work (doing away with the notion of the "inseparable union" of signs and things) in his development of deconstruction.

| semantic dementia |
is a progressive neuropsychological disorder characterized by a multi-modal deficit in semantics (or meaning) that typically develops following damage to regions of the temporal neocortex. This disorder results in a loss of lexical (language) knowledge and of general factual knowledge; language production and comprehension are severely impaired. In contrast, day-to-day memory abilities are largely preserved.
