CASE METHOD 1

The difference between Semantics and Pragmatics is :

Semantics is a linguistic order, a pattern of understanding
that is very important for the overall framework of thinking and
communication structure, which in its field of study focuses more
on elements or components in the world of communication related
to the use of sentences.
The use of sentences in this communication is important to do a
comprehensive study to more easily identify a meaning in the
sentence.
It is different with pragmatics which is a linguistic system, a
pattern of understanding that is very important for the overall
framework of thinking and communication structure, which in its
field of study focuses more on the elements or components in the
world of communication related to the use of speech.
Speech in this communication is important to do a comprehensive
study to more easily identify an intention in the speech itself.
They are related to each other because in other words,
semantics is the study of meaning. Semantics is usually related to
two other aspects, namely syntax, the formation of simpler
symbols, and pragmatics, the practical use of symbols by
communities in certain contexts.
 Meaning can be differently interpreted in Semantic and
Pragmatic studies because Semantics is the study of "tools" for
meaning: knowledge encoded in the vocabulary of a language and
in its patterns to construct more complex meanings, down to the
level of sentence meaning (Griffiths, 2006, p. 1)
In the Bloomfield era (1930s), linguistics meant phonetics and
phonemics and a little further was morphology. Syntax was
considered too abstract to be studied until Chomsky, in the late
1950s, found syntax as the central and main point of the study of
linguistics. However, they both consider that meaning, semantics,
to be a rather complicated thing to learn
There are several aspects of communication that can cause
this to happen, for example, the language aspect. To reduce the
incidence caused by language, it is better if we use common
language, and avoid using exclusive language that may only be
known to certain groups, avoid using language that may be difficult
for listeners to understand the meaning of the language we use.
