Linguistic
Semantics
·
"The study of meaning can be
undertaken in various ways. Linguistic semantics is an attempt
to explicate the knowledge of any speaker
of a language which allows that speaker to communicate facts, feelings,
intentions and products of the imagination to other speakers and to understand
what they communicate to him or her. . . . Early in life every human acquires
the essentials of a language--a vocabulary
and the pronunciation, use and meaning of each item in it. The
speaker's knowledge is largely implicit. The linguist attempts to construct a grammar,
an explicit description of the language, the categories of the language and the
rules by which they interact. Semantics is one part of
grammar; phonology, syntax
and morphology are other parts."
Example:
-A water pill at first glance could be a pill with
water in it; but, it is understood to be a diuretic that causes a person to
lose water from his body.
- Young can mean a colt, filly, piglet, baby, puppy
or kitten.

Pragmatic
Pragmatic is A branch of linguistics concerned with the use of language
in social contexts and the ways in which people produce and comprehend meanings
through language.
Example:
Your brother
wants to see you. Your brother doesn't want to see you. --> YOU HAVE A
BROTHER.
