语言语义学和非语言语义学语言学家通常把语义学定义为(例如,《语言学的新天地》第一集的序言所做的那样)对意义的研究。然而,多数语言学家可能都会认为这个定义太笼统了,它没有把语义学限于研究语言的意义;某些学者确实挑明了这个限制。似乎不必要挑明这个限制。“意义”这个词(及其在其它语言中的等译词)在符号体系(即,交际体系)中自由使用,不局限 Linguistic Semantics and Non-linguistic Semantics Linguists generally define semantics as meaning research (as the preamble to the first episode of Linguistics) does. However, most linguists may consider the definition too general. It does not limit semantics to the meaning of the language of the study; some scholars do articulate this limitation. It seems unnecessary to pick out this restriction. The word “meaning” (and its equivalents in other languages) is freely used in the notational system (ie, the communicative system) without limitation
