Listen, I'm done with this discussion. For the second part of your comment I already linked you to this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33774066 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33774066. For the first part, everything I can find on the topic indicates that connotations are part of semantics; it's a part of the word's meaning, after all. If you disagree with that, fine, I don't care, I have made it as clear as I can possibly be that nothing I've said has anything to do with marketing.
- shkkmo 4y ago"meaning" itself is a broad term, but the "literal meaning" AKA the "denotation" is distinct from the "connotation" of a term. Semantics is a broad term that means different things in different disciplines, but generally concerns itself with the denotation more than the connotation. I suppose you could make an argument that the denotation of "semantics" could technically include connotation but that the connotation of "semantics" usually implies that it is denotation that is being discussed.
- mort96 4y agoInstead of arguing the different definitions of the word "semantic" with me, why not just listen when I say that I'm not talking about marketing. Please.
- shkkmo 4y agoI've mentioned "marketing" exactly once, and only to dismiss the debate about what is and isn't marketing as irrelevant. I've tried to constructively drive the conversation forward repeatedly, if I've been drawn into side discussions, it is only by you bringing up those topics.
