Semantic (Greek σημαντ ικoς, to Symbol belonging) is nothing else than the meaning that is inside the information. Semantics is therefore study of interpretation of signs or symbols. Thus, Semantics (greek sēmantikós = pertains to the character, the study of meaning) is part of the linguistics focused on

of language or symbols of language. So it is the study of interpretation of signs or symbols as used by agents or communities with particular circumstances and Contexts.

Semantics asks, for example, how sense and meaning of complex Concepts can be derived from simple Concepts based on the rules of Syntax.

The Semantics of a message depends of its Context and Pragmatics.

Therefore, Semantics means meaning.
