Semantics, pragmatics and discourse analysis

# data[].attributes.body
Semantics: Is the study of the meaning of words and sentences, at its simplest, it concerns with the relation of linguistic forms to non-linguistic concepts and mental representations in order to explain how sentences are understood by the speaker of a language.

Pragmatics: Is the study of how both literal and nonliteral aspects of communicated linguistics meaning are determined by principles that refer to the physical or social context (broadly construed) in which language is used.

Discourse analysis: Is a research method for studying written or spoken language in relation to its social context. It aims to understand how language is used in real life situations. When you ydo discourse analysis, you might focus on: The purposes and effects on different types of language.

Semantics means the study of meaning and interpretation of words, signs, phrases and sentence structure. They determine how we understand others. Also, they refer to the branch of study within linguistics that deals with language and how we understand meaning.

Pragmatics is a field of linguistics concerned with what a speaker means and a listener unterstands based on some factors just as the situational context.

Discourse analysis is used to make sure that what we are reading, writing or saying is coherent according to the different contexts and, of course, makes sense.

SEMANTICS, PRAGMATICS AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS.

# data[].attributes.body
SEMANTICS.
I understood that the semantic studies the meaning of words and expressions, that is, what words mean when we speak or write.
PRAGMATICS.
Pragmatics is a discipline that studies language in relation to the context where the idea is developed. In other words, the meaning or interpretation depends on the content and the linguistic context of the sentence, since it could have several meanings.
DISCOURSE ANALYSIS.
Discourse analysis it is a method that helps to organize and complete certain information to adapt it to the required content, a traditional analysis procedure.

Semantics is the study of meaning in language, it includes the logical aspects of meaning, the meanings of words and their relationship, and the cognitive aspects of meaning.
Pragmatics is the study of how context affects meaning, for example, how sentences are interpreted in certain situations.
Discourse analysis studies the ways that sentences and utterances come together to create text and how those texts and interactions fit into our social world.

SEMANTICS: Semantics is the study of the meaning of words, phrases and sentences in a language.
PRAGMATICS: Pragmatics is the study of “invisible” meaning, or how we recognize what is meant even when it isn’t actually said or written.
DISCOURSE ANALYSIS: I understand discourse analysis to be the study of how we use our language in communication to assume meaning, purpose and unity for its users and that it must be coherent. As language-users, we are capable of
more than simply recognizing correct versus incorrect forms and structures.

Firstly, I read that semantics is the study of meaning in language (words, phrases and sentences). This represent what someone wants to express. Secondly, pragmatics is about how we recognize what is meant even when it isn’t actually said or written, for example when we see an advertisment or signs with very few/key words and we make an interpretation of this. Thirdly, the discourse analysis is typically concerned with the study of language in texts and conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
What I understood after reading the three chapter is that Semantics is the study of meaning of words,phrase and sentences focusing in the conventional meaning of them. Unlike pragmatics which is the study of what the speaker mean or the "invisible meaning" or how we recognize what is meant even when it isn't actually said or written.
The last topic that I read was "discourse analysis" which is typically concerned with the study of language in texts and conversation. For example how we can recognize text and understand and how we take part in conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
What I understood is that semantics is the study of meaning in language, while doing semantics we focus on what the word traditionally means instead of what individual speakers think.
Pragmatics is a study of the meaning of the speaker and how always more is communicated than is said.
And discourse analysis is a study of language in oral and written texts that goes beyond sentences, it is the study of the structural properties, the way they make sense.

-Semantics: Semantics is the study of the origin of words, used to contextualize the meaning of these in written or oral sentences, based on the message and meaning that you want to convey.

-Pragmatic: pragmatics, is a branch of the study of the transmission of the message between the transmitter and the receiver, is what defines mutual understanding.

-Discursive analysis: it is what is considered when transmitting the spoken message, something that is "beyond the sentence".

Semantics: By semantics I understand that it is called the linguistic science that studies the meaning of words and expressions, that is, what words mean when we speak or write. The purpose of semantics is to break down the meaning into smaller units, called semes or semantic features, these allow segmenting the meaning of words, and differentiating words of similar meaning and words of opposite meaning.
Pragmatics: Pragmatics focuses on studying how the context influences the interpretation of the meaning of a message. The context can be understood as the situation in which any extralinguistic aspect can be included. Pragmatics takes into account all the aspects that are not purely linguistic and that can condition the use we give to language. When making a pragmatic analysis we must take into account: the information that is shared, the sender and the recipient, the message and its tone.
Discourse analysis: The analysis of discourse is typically concerned with the study of language in texts and conversation. We can also make sense of notices like No shoes, no service, on shop windows in summer, understanding that a conditional relation exists between the two parts (“If you are wearing no shoes, you will receive no service”). We have the ability to create complex discourse interpretations of fragmentary
linguistic messages.

Semantic is the study of the meaning of words, phrases and sentences. In semantic analysis there is always an attempt to focus on what the words conventionally mean.

Pragmatics is the study of what speakers mean, or “speakers meaning”, also pragmatics study invisible meaning or how we recognize what is mean even when it is not actually said or written. In the case of sings that have only few letters without illustrations, we can recognize what they mean.

Discourse analysis. How we understand speakers who communicate more than they say and how we take part in a complex actually called conversation.

-Semantics: what I understood about semantics is that this branch of the linguistics studies the meaning of words, phrases and sentences. Semantics focuses in the actual meaning of the word, without considering what the actual speaker or receptor is trying to communicate or understand.
-Pragmatics: Now, pragmatics focuses in what the speaker and the receptor is understanding. There're hidden meaning in the words or phrases we say. When you're speaking a language that's not your native one, you might find it difficult to catch those hidden meaning. To discover the hidden meaning it's necessary to know the context of the frase -time, place, event, etc.-.These contexts are often known by the speakers, and some other times they just use the expression without even knowing where they come from.
-Discourse analysis: Discourse analysis studies the way we communicate. It examines whether we make a clear, coherent and cohesive massage, or not.

Semantic:

Through reading the chapters, I was able to understand that semantics is the study of the meaning of words , phrases and sentences.  Sometimes Semantics tests our reading comprehension, and how we understand others.

Pragmatic: Pragmatics is the study of the language used in communication, the study of the relationships between languages ​​and their users.  In other words, pragmatics is the study of the meaning of sentences .The context that you want to give to the sentences.

Discourse Analysis: The use of language correctly in different contexts, such as sociolinguistics. The way in which we communicate and want to make ourselves understood among the speakers.

-Semantics: I know that is a study of the meaning of a sentence or word to be understood by the speakers of a language.
-Paragmatics: Is the study of the use of a natural language in communication, or how the people react to different symbols.
-Discourse analysis: This is a method of analysing the structure of a text, vocal or sing language use, or any significant semiotic event.

Semantics: Is the study of the meaning in the language, study the meaning of words, sentences or phrases and with the semantic analysis they are focus on what the words mean, for example for analyze the meaning in terms of semantic features we take in consideration if the word is human, animate, famale or adult.
Pragmatics: In the case of pragmatics is the study of what speakers mean, study how we recognize what is meant no matter if it is written or said. In this concept the context is important.
Discourse analysis: I understand that is an analysis to make sense in what we read or in the spooken language, we analyze if it is coherent or not and how we take part in a conversation.

Semantics is the study of the meaning of words, phrases and sentences. Pragmatics is the study of what speakers mean, or“speaker meaning".  Discourse analysis is a research method for studying written or spoken language in relation to its social context

-Semantics: Semantics  is the study of the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences. In this semantic analysis, there is always an attempt to focus on what words conventionally mean, rather than what an individual speaker might think they mean they mean, or want them to mean, on a particular occasion.
-Paragmatics: Paragmatics is the study of unseen meaning, or how we recognize meaning even when it is not actually said or written, it is the study of what speakers mean or the speaker's meaning.
-Discourse analysis: Discourse analysis systematically studies written and spoken discourse as a way of using language to successfully participate in that complex activity called conversation, we are performing what is known as discourse analysis.

What I understood about the subject Semantics is that the Linguistic semantics has been defined as the study of how languages organize and express meanings.

Pragmatics is a specialized branch of study, focusing on the relationship between natural language and users of that language. Pragmatics focuses on conversational implicatures or that which a speaker implies and which a listeners infers.
And finally Discourse analysis is sometimes defined as the analysis of language "beyond the sentence".
In discourse analysis, the context of a conversation is taken into account as well as what's being said. This context may encompass a social and cultural framework, including the location of a speaker at the time of the discourse.

Semantics is the study of the meaning of language and is applied to long texts or short words.

Pragmatic Is a specialized branch of study, focusing on the relationship between natural language and users of that language.

Discourse analysis It is a method that analyzes the structure of texts or statements of more than one sentence, taking into account their linguistic content.

I understood that the SEMANTICS is the estudy of meaning in language, for example Do your chores meaning do you chores right now. In the case of the PRAGMATICS, also I understood that is the study of invisible meaning or how recognize what is meant. For example, Will you crack open the door? I am getting hot. Finally, in the case of the DISCOURSE ANALYSIS, I understood that the discourse is a language beyond the sentence and it is a method for studying written or spoken language in any social group.
