Difference between Meaning (linguistics) and Semantics

Meaning (linguistics) vs. Semantics

In linguistics, meaning is the information or concepts that a sender intends to convey, or does convey, in communication with a receiver. Semantics (from σημαντικός sēmantikós, "significant") is the linguistic and philosophical study of meaning, in language, programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics.
