                                          Semantics

Semantics is the study of meaning. Semiotics is one of the sections of the semantics, this is the study of signs and sign processes, analogy, symbolism, signification, communication.

Words and things don't have single, simple meaning. Traditionally, meaning can be divided in two parts: Denotation (the literal meaning of the word or thing) and Connotation (an association (emotional or otherwise) that the word/thing evokes).
