The Semantic Tradition

The Semantic Tradition is an approach in philosophy and linguistics that studies how meaning is created, understood, and communicated through language. It explores the connections between words, symbols, and the concepts they represent, emphasizing how meaning is not fixed but shaped by context, culture, and use. This tradition seeks to clarify how language reflects reality and influences our thinking, helping us better understand communication, interpretation, and the nature of meaning itself.
