For virtually every word we know, we have learned a meaning or several meanings. For example, to know the word brother is to know that it has a certain meaning (the equivalent of “male sibling”). In addition, we may or may not know certain extended meanings of the word, as in John is so friendly and helpful; he’s a regular brother to me. Semantics is the subfield of linguistics that studies the nature of the meaning of individual words, and the meaning of words group in to phrases and sentences.
