Summary : This unit helps us to understand that Semantics as level of linguistic analysis refers to the study of meaning. It is the level at which one attempts to analyse how meanings are expressed and understood. We need to keep in mind different approaches to the study of meaning namely, the Lexicographical approach, the Referential approach, the Structuralist approach, the Behaviouristic approach, the Functional-pragmatic approach, Field theory of Meaning and the Componential Analysis approach. The seven types of meaning discussed by Leech are the conceptual meaning, the connotative meaning, the stylistic meaning, the affective meaning, the reflected meaning, the collocative meaning and the thematic meaning. Semantics studies all these different types of meaning. The conceptual meaning takes into consideration the basic meaning of the utterance, whereas the connotative meaning focuses on the implied or suggested meanings of the utterance. The stylistic meaning refers to the social circumstances in which a piece of language is used, and the affective meaning takes into consideration the personal feelings of the speaker. The reflected meaning is the effect of one meaning on another meaning of the same word. The collocative meaning focuses on the meaning that a particular words acquires in the company of words. The thematic meaning refers to what is communicated by the way in which the speaker or writer of a message organizes the message in terms of focus and emphasis. 4.
