Abstract

Learning a language also means that we must understand the meaning of the meaning in a language . In learning semantic and pragmantic first of all we must know the meaning of semantic and pragmantic it self ,  Semantics is a field of study in linguistics that studies meaning on a language.  Semantics is one of the three levels of language analysis, namely phonology, grammar, and semantics. Semantics examines the meaning of language signs related to concepts and language signs that include them. In the use of semantics, semantics will make it easier for writers such as journalists to choose and use words with the right meaning in conveying information to the general public. Pragmatics is a branch of linguistics that studies the relationship between the context of language and external speech through the use of the situation in which it is spoken.  (defines the relationship of meaning to the narrative) In linguistics, pragmatics is a part of semiotics. The principles in pragmatics include the synthesis between study, intent and speech.  In pragmatics, it is more on the function of language to communicate in everyday life.  A speaker must be able to choose and use the right language so that an utterance can be understood by the hearer. In this case we must able to  understand the aim and the meaning of every language .
