Semantics along with other subjects like Grammar. Phonology and
Phonetics, Lexical, so on stands in the system of academic language. It is
researched systematically with a lot of different points of view and
approaches which are argued by many famous linguisticians like J. Lyons
(Cambridge University); Curse, D.A (Cambridge University); Chaffin, R &
Winston, M.E (Trenton State College); Herman D (Hamilton College); and so
on.
Semantics is not only researched but also learned in universities. To major
students at Haiphong private university like me, semantics is a new subject in
the curriculum, which brings us both excite and challenge. Furthermore, for
myself, it really attracts me in the studying at class for its strangeness,
especially Hyponymy and Meronymy. These two types of the sense relations
are popular in life particularly in scientific field. They are used to express
hierarchical relations. Besides, they also show the certainly mutual
correspondence and distinction as well, which urges me to study this issue
more profoundly.
