Semantics (from the Greek σημαντικός, sēmantiká , neuter plural of sēmantikós, derived from sema, sign), is the study of meaning.

Semantics is the study of the literal meaning of words and the meaning of how words are combined.

It focuses on the relationship between signifiers, such as words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and what they represent, their denotation. Linguistic studies the meaning used by human beings to express themselves through language. Other forms of semantics include semantics in programming languages, formal logic, and semiotics.

Semantic SEO uses semantics to optimize content in order to improve its discoverability by modern search engines.
