Abstract
The meaning of words is essential to communicating information in language, which is a complicated system of communication. Words in the English language have a semantic framework that helps us decipher their meaning in relation to other words. This article examines the English language's semantic structure, illuminating the several elements that go into a word's overall meaningReferences
