Semantics (Greek sēmantikos, giving signs, significant, symptomatic, from sēma, sign) refers to the aspects of meaning that are expressed in a language, code, or other form of representation. Semantics may also denote the theoretical study of meaning in systems of signs.
Though terminology varies, writers on the subject of meaning generally recognize two sorts of meaning that a significant expression may have: (1) the relation that a sign has to objects and objective situations, actual or possible, and (2) the relation that a sign has to other signs, most especially the sorts of mental signs that are conceived of as concepts.
Most theorists refer to the relation between a sign and its objects, as always including any manner of objective reference, as its denotation. Some theorists refer to the relation between a sign and the signs that serve in its practical interpretation as its connotation, but others restrict the application of semantics to the denotative aspect, using other terms or completely ignoring the connotative aspect.
