My childhood unforgettable moment.

Well, it was a short story of my life when I was a kid probably, 6 years. My friends & I, use to hang out around the tree which was near the playing ground. One of my friends father had tied a rope there and made a swing like stuff for us. We swing there one by one. One of my friends, was very very naughty and lie a lot. He said to me, " It is my turn now". I said, " No, Its mine". He hit me and I fell down. I stand up and ask for my turn, again he hit me and I fell down. This time I was very angry and with the frowning eyes, I warned him, if he won't let me swing I will hit you with the stone. He said, " Whatever!!". I took a small stone in my hand and I throw onto him, without thinking it could hurt his eyes and harm him. He started crying and come down. And I started swinging.

The same day in the evening, his mother come to my house complaining my mother and said, " See, what your daughter has done to my son, near his eyes it is bleeding". She was full...her eyes were red, eyebrows raised onto me. Screaming and shouting on me...blur!!! I was speechless. Pretending to be innocent. My mother asked me about the incident and I explained her the whole story, how he hit me and my legs were bleeding and saw her the scratches on my hands, and finally, how I throw the stone on him. I didn't know this could happen. That lady was still shouting on me and my mother. My mother asked her to bring a stone and let her son hit on my eyes. If this could make her son feel better then do that. Then she think for a while and said to my mother, "Oh, I am sorry. I don't know why I spelled so bad words for you." My mother said, " They are children and a friends, today they fought and tomorrow they will play together again then why we are blaming and shouting". 

I didn't forget these words my mother told her. That day I didn't understand what was the meaning of that words and why my mother asked her to bring the stone but when I grew up, I understood, what she meant to say. After that incident I never threw any stone on anybody. Today, when I remind those moment, I feel so bad for my foolish things I did. I was so silly and naughty girl. That incident changed me a lot from inside.

In one way or another, bad experiences can lead to great success.

Article Review about branches of semantic

Branch of semantics

semantics concerns the study of meaning as communicated through language, while for some others, semantics studies all aspects of meaning and they have to add the label “linguistic” to arrive ata more precise definition. This distinction, however, is not generally given much importance and leaving aside special formulations, probably all authors would agree with Kreidler’s definition (to choose just one of them): linguistic semantics is the study of how languages organize and express meanings.
So, Linguistic semantics is the study of how languages organize and express meanings. Semantics is part of grammar.
The meaning of a complex expression is determined by:
• the meanings of its parts,
• the way in which those parts are combined
Example:          A cat chased a small rat. 
A small rat chased a cat.

Lexical Semantics
1.      Hyponym: word x is a hyponym of word y if the sets of referents of x is always in the set of referents of y.
• example: the set of poodles is always in the set of dogs

2.       Hypernym: the converse of hyponym
• example: above, ‘dogs’ = hypernym, ‘poodles’ = hyponym

3.      Synonyms: words that seem to have the same meaning
• example:  ‘couch’ vs. ‘sofa’

4.      Antonyms: words that seem to have opposite meanings
            Three types of antonyms:

a.    Complementary à single - married, dead - alive
• mutually exclusive

b.      Gradable à  cold - cool - warm - hot, wet - dry
• can modify with ‘very’, ‘a little’, etc.

c.       Converse à above / below, give / receive, buy - sell
• reciprocal relationship between words • relationship x entails existence of relationship y

Ø  Compositional Semantics
• Deals with phrasal and sentence meaning.
• Non-idiomatic meanings are compositional in that they combine the meanings of smaller units.
        There are 3 kinds of compositional semantics, like:

1.      Entailment
2.      Presupposition
3.      Thematic roles

Name of Journal

Task Of Introduction To Linguistics

Semantic

            hallo , now i wanna share about my article review, for journal entitle "Task Of Introduction To Linguistics". 
 This journal published by Annisa Adinda Qira and Dewi Ayu Tri Anjani
At academia.edu 
there is 10 pages in this journal that talks about semantics. 

Background
Semantics (as the study of meaning) is central to the study of
communication and as communication becomes more and more a crucial factor in social organization, the need to understand it becomes more and more pressing.

Research question ;
1. Definiton semantic
2. Areas of semantic

Methodology : library research

The Straight : 
So, from this Article I got the point about Semantics, such as definition and areas of semantics, 

The Weakness : 
But I need more detail explanation about semantic. Because, this article doesn’t give detail examples and explanation. 

Conclusion
Semantics is a study of meaning and as a part of grammar in language. As a study of meaning , semantics include of words, sentences and utterances meaning. It always interconnected with other scope ; just like syntax, phonology and morpheme.

Other forms of semantics include the semantics of programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics.
Semantic word comes from the Greek sema which means a sign or symbol. " Semantics " was first used by a French philologist Michel Breal in 1883)(eighteen eighty tree) 

According to the theory developed from the view of Ferdinand de Saussure, the meaning is 'understanding' or 'concept' owned or contained in a linguistic signs. According to de Saussure, any linguistic sign consists of two elements,
namely (1) signified and (2) signifier.

In lingustics, there are some theories of Semantics ; for instance,Lexical
Semantics, Formal Semantics, compositional Semantics, etc. Those are the theory
 which talk about meaning. To study about semantics, we can approach by two
ways. First, contextual approach. It approaches the meaning in language in terms
of context, situation or use. Second, mentalistic approach. It approach to meaning
in langauge views meaning as a concepts, ideas, images and associations which
are stored in the long-term memory of human brain: meaning is inside the brain.
Areas of semantic analysis
1.Word meaning
2.Meaning in vocabulary organisation (paradigmatic level)
3.Meaning in linear sequence (in syntax) (syntagmatic level)
