  n  :  the  study  of  language  meaning 
 
  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  semantics 
 
    The  meaning  of  a  string  in  some  language,  as  opposed 
  to  {syntax}  which  describes  how  symbols  may  be  combined 
  independent  of  their  meaning. 
 
  The  semantics  of  a  programming  language  is  a  function  from 
  programs  to  answers.  A  program  is  a  {closed  term}  and  in 
  practical  languages,  an  answer  is  a  member  of  the  syntactic 
  category  of  values.  The  two  main  kinds  are  {denotational 
  semantics}  and  {operational  semantics}.
