Experimental Semantics

Experimental semantics involves analyzing the meaning of language or symbols by observing and testing their use in practical, real-world contexts. Instead of just studying definitions on paper, it looks at how language is actually employed in conversations, experiments, or real-life situations to understand what expressions truly convey. This approach helps clarify ambiguous or complex meanings by examining how people interpret and respond to words or symbols in various settings, bridging theoretical understanding with practical usage.
