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.
