        Semantics as part of grammar

In this class we had an introduction about semantics and the relation with grammar, the teacher presented and explained slides, so we could understand the topic.Then the teacher asked us the following question, why should semantics be considered as part of grammar? In order to hand it. We could socialize the topic in pairs.Semantics should be considered as a part of grammar because it is important take into account aspects like: How much knows the speaker about the language, linguistic competence and also that knowledge depends of the speakers and the meaning they give to these words.


 Semantics, in general studies the meaning of a word, but it depends of the user, for example if it is a child, adult, someone with a lot of studies, of someone that never was to the school. This also depends of the context, and the experience that the user had have, the relation will depend about their previous knowledge. 

This class allowed me to clarify the different uses of semantics and how can this influence in the meaning of a word, depending of the user or the context in general.
