Semantic Field Theory

Semantic Field Theory is a linguistic concept suggesting that words are organized into groups or "fields" based on their related meanings. For example, terms like "car," "bike," and "bus" belong to a transportation field, sharing a common theme but differing in specifics. These fields help us understand how language groups similar concepts and how they relate to one another. By analyzing semantic fields, linguists can better comprehend how meanings are structured in our minds and how language reflects relationships between ideas within a particular category.
