The definition of semantics
Branch of linguistic that study the meaning of words, sentence , phrase .
Semantics have two types of meaning
- conceptual meaning
it means the common meaning or the meaning of the word in the dictionary
and can be called " denotative meaning "
- assosciative meaning
it is the hidden meaning
for example when we say about someone
you are a needle
the assosciative meaning is she is painful person
and we can called it " conotative meaning "
Semantics Features
My cat studied linguistics
this sentence syntactically is true
but semantically is wrong because the cat can't do
the action .
Cat
animate +
human -
so in this case this sentence is semantically is wrong

You can use The Study of Language by George Yule
It's so simple and clear

=) Syntax and Semantics are easy, at least that's my opinion
BTW, Semantics talks about some terms like synonym, antonym, hyponym, homonymy and homophones
